Shipping and insurance costs has increased considerably within the past 6 months. Packing materials have also increased.
Transporation to the post offce/UPS/other shipping methods have increased.
The listing fee/final value fees on ebay have increased.

The statement of "hosing" with the S&H fees was not necessary.

Maybe the seller combined shipping expense if the buyer purchased more than one item.

The seller lost more that the original price of the Big Bay Point with listing on ebay.
