Crazy postage

I am new to sell on eBay. I can easily search many niches on sale under 10 bucks, as I know the most cheapest way to ship is to use USPS which costs around $4-5 for a very small package, how they can sell at $7.59? There are costs of final fee and product cost. I know for a large volume the carrier can offer more attractive price, but it still too shallow after all expense to make profit. Or there is other way to ship cheaply ? Anyone can help me to know?

First class mail starts at $3.66 not $4-5. And $7.59 does not include shipping so the cost of shipping does not affect the profit.

 

And you are in Canada so how do you use USPS?

Re: Crazy postage

Not really, most of the top 20 sellers offer free shipping. Look at them how much they sold.

I sometimes use 3PL to fulfill the order.
