SHIPPING & HANDLING - SMALL PRICE TO PAY?    Whether you live in a large city like me or Smalltown,USA, the cost of shopping itself can cause anyone to ban the Malls forever! I'm not complaining about the cost of goods - its the underlying expense - the cost of the actual event!  Here's a list:

*Gas....... !%#&%$@!

*Lunch w/preschoolers(always a joy ...)  $14.25

*Mall Parking + Toll  .....$4.50

* Two impulse items on sale only 4.99 each! ...$10. 

  By now I"m certain you can relate! We can all do without the lines, throbbing feet and nagging kids ( especially when they're not ours).

 In my own home I  put my feet up,browse & shop. As a bonus I find unbelievable deals and what beats the rush brought on by placing the winning bid? Whats not to love? 

The "handling" part of Shipping & Handling can be a little annoying. Especially to the novice Ebayer. A 3". figurine with $19.99 S&H may sound a little odd ,but if you're a little bit like me (and think back to that last Mall fiasco) you'll be happy to pay and do your impulse buying in the privacy of your own home!
