I don't know about you, but I find that people who sell their items are a low price below cost and then cover their cost with a higher shipping rate very unscrupulous.
I have experienced many times Buyers who do not actually spend time reading descriptions, payment and shipping terms. These people will straightaway bid on the "cheap" item and then get caught in a dilemma when sent a invoice with the high shipping charge.
As a Seller, I feel that if our shipping charge is higher than normal, perhaps due to extra packing material or if it is exceptionally heavy, then we should let potential Buyers know by writing our shipping charge in large, bold text.
If the Seller feels there is a need to hide the charges, then he is not being honest as a Seller.
If I were caught by unexpectedly high shipping charges due to my own carelessness in not reading the terms in detail, I only have myself to blame and I will go through with the transaction. However, I will refrain from ever purchasing from this particular Seller again. As you can see, if this is the way you sell, it is not going to bring you the ever important returning customers.
