This might be an understood quantity in this discussion, but I'll mention it anyway. I always factor the shipping cost into my maximum bid, i.e. going rate for product minus shipping cost. In fact, I have gotten into the habit of looking at feedback, shipping cost and bid history before I bid. Some of the sellers, especially rookies and those "We'll Sell It On Ebay For You" places really jack up the shipping and handling. Also, I snipe only, via my watched items list and I try to pay as quickly as possible with Paypal to expedite shipping. I think Paypal is a really good deal as a buyer, because I use a dedicated credit card and it provides three layers of protection- the credit card company, Paypal and Ebay. There's my two cents.
