Eric BrehmSteve -- that was my thought too - charge a low amount, but not zero. Or if I really want to increase my ratings, maybe I should offer negative shipping: it will cost 10 dollars to ship it to you, and not only will I pay for that, I'll give you 5 more dollars as well. That would impress them.
For the DSR's eBay should have buyers rate sellers on quality of packaging or something, rather than on shipping cost, which is not a service issue.
Or maybe the DSR for shipping and handling should be re-defined along these lines:
5 stars: in line with actual costs
4 stars: too much
3 stars: way too much
2 stars: egregious
1 star: highway robbery
