How come the auction wants $17.67 for UPS Ground (to TX) when you say it
should only be $7?

The listing says actual UPS shipping PLUS $7. Considering we added about a
buck for the JCValue store to cover bubble wrap, packing peanuts, and boxes
(when not shipping by Priority), $7 sounds a bit steep.

Some sellers offer items at a loss, but make it up with excessive shipping
charges. That appears to work. They are still there, but fees cost more
than we were making from the store. Too many people grab the cheapest
price, and don't consider the total cost with shipping.

That seems to be SOP on eBay. Some sellers will lower the shipping fees if
you buy multiple items but you have to ask.

Yep, I read it too fast. His calculator is still off though as UPS
charges less than half what he's showing.
