Hello ,  Buyers beware of sellers that over charge for shipping and handling.  I have seen several sellers over charge for shipping and handling.  several billion people if not more shop on Ebay daily.  If a seller  listing baseball or football cards charges $2.99 to $4.99 per card for shipping  and sells 1,000 cards in that one day.  He or she just made $2,500.00 to $ 4,500.00 clear on shipping  for that single day. It cost them less than $0.50 to ship that single card.  Some unscrupulous sellers are making millions if not more from your shipping and handling cost.   Some sellers start bids extremely low so that they don't have to pay a big fee to Ebay  but  over charge on shipping  and handling to make their profit.  I have seen this on several types of items so be careful and read the fine print on shipping and handling charges. Be careful and enjoy your shopping on Ebay.
