Shipping fees
Why do I have to use the seller's shipping ?
Many times the costs are triple what it actually costs to ship the item. For instance a 500gr item from the Philippines actually costs about $7.00 to ship to the USA in 8 days according to Philipost. Yet the seller charges $30 and sends it bulk rate which takes 45 days. A buyer should be allowed to chose thier own shipping if desired.

-First, eBay considers it Shipping AND Handling for the Seller not just the cost of the label.
-That said, some Sellers use shipping as an additional profit center and over charge.
-Still other Sellers are simply clueless when it comes to shipping, we see that here all the time. They make mistakes when they create their listings and don't even realize it.
-You have the option to message a Seller and ask them to change the shipping cost you are seeing, some may figure it out and others may simply decline.
