** expired/removed eBay auction **

Not a bad price and someone may BIN it anyway, but I'm showing over $15 for domestic shipping on 5 paperback books for this auction.

I've been running into tons of auction lately with crazy high shipping costs listed.

The ebayer doesn't know how to adjust the shipping.... The ebayer has defaults set wrong is all.

If you start talking about 'the ebayer' putting on the lotion, I'm outta here.

Ebayer has left the building!

Looks like it is set for the max cost on a medium priority box at 3lbs. of cargo.

Wouldn't have been my choice, but I can't say EBay's 'calculated' shipping has been very good either.
