JoeSure, it's a ridiculous amount for shipping. I don't get upset at eBay shipping charges any more. As with the buyer's premium in other auction forums, I just factor the shipping into the total cost. So if I wanted to pay 30 bucks for this card, I'd bid, say, 19 dollars tops. So it's $19 plus $16 for shipping for a total of $35, figuring 5 bucks for a civil shipping fee.
More and more eBay sellers are charging exorbitant shipping fees in an attempt to circumvent the fee they have to pay eBay--which is based on the hammer price.
