The buyer pays the seller for the shipping charges shown on the listing. Buyer does not pay to ship the item since they are not the one that is shipping.
The seller pays the shipper (USPS, UPS, etc) for the shipping costs to ship the item to the buyer. They are reimbursed from the shipping charges the buyer pays.
