If you have looked at several of my listings you may have noticed that my S&H fees may seem to be randomly generated. The situation is that the S&H fee represent postage at the time the item was listed, in addition I ate a part of the S&H (I have not typically charged for small boxes or mailers like the brown mailers 6”x 10” or 9¾” X 12¼”). These cost me $2 to $2.20 apiece and simply I can no longer can eat these fees. Most stamps can be sent via a standard envelope when properly packaged. This is a breakdown of my cost to mail a stamp via a first class letter:

Envelope                      $0.12
Envelope Stiffener         $0.00 Made from grocery boxes
1/3 to ½ display cards   $0.16 to $0.25
Inner envelope              $0.11
Postage                        $0.63
9% eBay selling fee       $0.10
Total                                  $1.12 to 1.21

My charge of $1.50 precludes me from having to change a 1000 listings every time postage fees are increased.

Encased certified stamps or coins I send in small boxes and the use of a box necessitates the designation “Package” and the cheapest total cost I have experienced to date is $5.10 to which I have to add the 9% eBay sellers fee or $0.46. I will add on $0.75 just to give me a little breathing room on future postage increases.

This mixture in S&H fees will remain until I get this new inventory added to my “store” this could take a couple of months. I will then go about updating the S&H fees in older listings to match these.
