Every once in a while I pay attention

Just realized that, as discussed earlier, shipping is not showing on the page unless it is Free Shipping or Free Returns.   

What a pita to try to research pricing, most particularly on items I know are heavy and I know are costly.  One more click.

Haven't checked yet to see what happens if I sort by cheapest/highest price, etc.  I don't think the world is ending and/or I'm not wearing my tinfoil hat because I would assume many buyers sort by cheapest (oh, not that word but ykwim).

I'm surprised the rat finks haven't put all of those at the top of each results page.

I'm also assuming ebay has done the math on what earns the company the most - free shipping sells more widgets or charging sellers a fee for shipping.   Since we can still charge for shipping, guess that sums up (pun intended - I just crack myself up) those earnings comparisons.

Do you have your settings customized to see the shipping prices?  For those who aren't aware, you can turn the shipping prices on and off.

When you pull up a search, look in the right upper corner.  You will see "Sort" and "View".  Hover over "View" and you will see the "Customize" option, click on "Customize".  You will then see a list of search options that you can check whether you want or not, including shipping.

I always have Shipping checked but sometimes it randomly unchecks itself lol, maybe that's what happened to you OP?  I then have to go in and re-check the shipping so I can see it again.

Have you ever noticed that if you check seller info, sponsored listings don't show the seller?

I try NOT to pay attention as it leads to a headache (usually)
