Yes shipping is tricky i always charge as close to shipping as possible i useually eat some shipping but thats ok
and i hate when ppl charge per item shipping like if you order 2 dresses they charge $3 for each item shipped when it only costs $3 to ship them both together. when i ship for ex.. I charge like $2-$3(depending on what it is) for up to 2-3 items and then add like $0.50-$1.00 for 4-6 items (again depending on what it is) Shipping has gone up so much latley it's hard to keep it low. I don't even add the cost of my envalopes,Gas,Tape,Pay pal fee, to shipping i just feel that it's my responsiblity to eat that stuff to keep the shipping and prices low for my customers.
