How can you expect someone to tell you the shipping costs up front, unless they give
a flat fee that will most likely overcharge you? Especially with the new USPS rates
hitting July 1.
I mean, I could list "$10 shipping in the continental US" on most of my small lots
to be sure I don't lose more on shipping than I make on the lot, but I doubt people
would bid on a $20 lot with $10 shipping.
Payment types and what they're selling, I can understand. Requiring shipping costs
up front, I can't.
