Many e-bayers are thrilled to find a great deal on something they are looking for, but...  BEWARE!!  Sellers often raise shipping charges to unreasonable amounts to avoid e-bay fees.  Honest e-bayers are the only way to prevent this terrible injustice.  When a seller lists an item for .01 it costs very little; however adding a reserve or listing for a higher price costs the seller more.  Shipping charges are not included in the e-bay fees so it gives the seller an opportunity to get more for the item without paying more for the listing. 

The bottom line is, if you see an unreasonable shipping charge, REPORT IT!  This will allow everyone to have an enjoyable time on e-bay and punish the wrong doers.
