Shipping is based on actual shipping costs which continue to rise with inflation. Ebay collects around 13% of the shipping charges paid to the seller as well as the equivalent percentage of the final paid amount. Please remember this when inquiring about a price, shipping price, or best offer. Any "low ball" best offers will be rejected. I appreciate your understanding on this matter, as many of us are selling to support our families. All of my items are from a clean, smoke free home. Thank you!
