I sell a few items here and there, mostly clothes and some dental items. I have been charging $5.50-6.50 for clothing items. Packaging material, tape labels, time and gas are the things that I must factor into the shipping price. It is the same thing that I do when setting prices for my company (real day job). I was recently harrassed by a buyer after the close of the auction about the shipping price. The price was clearly stated in the auction. He told me it should only cost $4.00 to ship a pair of jeans. It cost me $5.75 for the shipping, not icluding the box, tape , label etc. When you sell clothes for $2.99 and factor in Ebay fees and paypal fees, its just not worth selling them anymore. So that was my last sale of clothes. I took all of my kids Abercrombie and Fitch clothes to the Salvation Army...I'll get a better tax deduction. Just my thoughts.... Bob
