That must not apply to any of the %%@+ I buy on eBay since I get charged $15-20 for shipping and when it lands on my doorstep it has an $8-13 price sticker on it

thats because you forgetting about handling, time, and supplies. it cost money for the box then driving to ups/usps.

QFT. thats why i dont even get mad at people charging a little extra.

Ive experienced downfalls with both the UPS and USPS.

USPS is like shipping for dummies. its easy, fast and straight to the point. UPS always price changing on me.

no matter what though, ALWAYS keep that proof of shipping/tracking on deck stashed somewhere. I had some dude file a chargeback for an item he bought from me 6 months ago. luckily i found the tracking slip - otherwise i wouldve been down $330 on some BS.

%*%# paypal.

Actually, unless it fits in a flat rate box USPS is usually the most expensive option.
