I usually pay about $5.57 to ship a comic. The mailers cost me about .57 cents each plus bag and board at .20 cents. Bringing my cost to $6.24 to ship a book. eBay gives a discount to sellers on shipping most of the time. That discount is what covers those costs. I won’t eat into those costs.
I charge a flat $6.50 for a single comic. Sending from the east coast, 10oz costs me $6.43 in postage to CA, plus the gemini and bag/board. $5.89 to central US. East coast a little over $5. In the end it almost evens out for me.

Same. I do $6.50 for a single book. Ground advantage + a mailer + bag and board rarely now costs less than $6.50.

It’s all lumped together. Whether you discount the book or you discount the shipping…it doesn’t matter.
That’s why I just offer a flat $4.99 shipping for most of my listings. I may be undercutting myself $1, except I may price the book $1 higher and get it back anyway. Or I’m $1 under all my competitors and I sell it not having to deal with best offer BS.

I saw Ebay was hit with a DDOS attack the other day, might be still happening…

That makes sense. Looks like they are still having issues. Must have been what caused it.

Perhaps that’s why the app was acting up when I tried to pay for an item…
Has anyone else been experiencing an issue with their notifications for watched items? When the 15 minute notification comes up, I’ll select the reminder for either 1 or 2 minutes prior to the item ending only for it not to notify me again…This has been going on for a few weeks and did a search and tried the suggestion but no change…eBay has been no help…
