So while I don't have a problem with charging shipping and handling as long as you are up front with your charges, I also don't think people complaining about it don't understand. They just think it should come from your profit margins, not an additional charge.

Agree with this. As mentioned, I have bought a couple of thousand single-slab sort of purchases off eBay in the past six years and it is exceedingly rare for cards below $200 to be more than $6 for shipping. The exception would be priority shipping. But whatevah I guess. It matters much less for bigger cards so their attitude is clearly just to gouge the little guy because the little guy doesn't matter.
