Confused by this...

[grandmabessie]

I'm new to selling. Can someone explain to me why the buyer was charged over twice the amount on the shipping fee via Ground Advantage that I calculated correctly? (Scroll down to see full attachment). Does that amount come out of my earnings? Please enlighten me. Thanks!

This is a completely normal situation. I routinely sell items that the buyer pays around $12 retail shipping and I only pay around $7-$8. You save about $4-$5 in shipping that helps to offset the ebay fees. But as others have said, it is your choice.
