I know some people have low bid prices and then inflate shipping so they dont have to pay as many ebay fees, but this is ridiculous.

$20 shipping for a loose common matchbox car?? The car is in the USA, so priority mail postage would be $4.05. $16 handling fee?? If I'm paying $20 shipping on a loose hotwheels car, it better be hand delivered by Eva Longoria

The Shipping charges are more and the price for the item is less to save on the Ebay fees to pay, but they still get you for pay pal fees.

That car isn't worth $20 unless I'm missing something. Hey, only $10 to me via parcel post. Such a deal!!

An extreme example of this on Ebay was when I was looking at a few of those ultra small razor motorcycles. Many listed for $25 with $179 shipping.

Tell me about it. It is getting very annoying. I purchase cell phones on there just about every other month and the charges are usually $20 - $30 for a cell phone package that can not cost more than $10 to ship even with Insurance and Priority mail. People are crazy.
