1. Ouch
I always try to suss out how much shipping is before I bid. eBay really needs to clamp down on that shit. Sellers do not need to pay any fees to eBay if they gouge on the shipping cost.

2. It's the little impulse bids that get me.
I figure, what the heck? And look no further.

3. Your package will be in the mail tomorrow!
Shipping is up, WAY UP! Best deal going right now is USPS Priority Mail flat rate envelope and flat rate box. $4.05 and $8.10 respectively. Most people round up to 9.99 to cover tape, labels and gas to the post.

Some shippers will let you chose a different carrier, some won't, In most instances, your talking pennies of difference.

4. I know, but I was thinking in my head $6 not $16, you know what I mean?
I'll survive it and do it again when something else comes up that I can't live without.
