Estimated SHIPPING**:         $3 (eBay’s Estimated Shipping amount. The automated listing software of eBay normally sets a higher shipping cost.  If insurance and tracking become necessary then this expense would be in the range of that set by eBay.   After an auction closes, I review your shipping address and these other considerations. I then I add the appropriate cost in your INVOICE. It therefore IMPERATIVE that you wait for your INVOICE or you may be paying more for shipping than required.)
