Shipping fee

Question

Hello There was a $75.80 shipping fee charged to the buyer on a item I sold. However I'm not familiar with this. Went to the post office and paid shipping out of pocket. Very confusing

The buyer pays you the shipping upfront (the $75.80 above the price for which the item sold).

You then use that $75.80 (that the buyer paid you) to purchase the shipping label.
