I just purchased a Barbie Costume, which is made of a very thin type material.  It is very light-weight and a size 4-6X, at that.  So, it is small.    When I got the invoice the shipping was $16 for Parcel Post.  That is rediculous!  I have mailed heavy tools cheaper than that and made enough to cover my cost of s/h.  I hope Ebay will put a stop to this practice of charging enough on shipping to cover the cost of the item.  It is wrong and ruins the good of Ebay. 

I didn't read all the fine print like I should have, but being an honest seller, I guess I have just come to trust people too much. 

It is time for buyers to quit buying from people who are using Ebay the wrong way.  I know that I won't be buying from this seller again...EVER. 

My advise to everyone is to read all the fine print.  Don't buy items that have excessive shipping charges.  If these people don't get business, maybe they will quit taking advantage of the buyers.
