Unrelated to ebay but on the topic of shipping charges
I had to buy a fancy expensive filter for something at work. When I got a price about a year ago it was $740 and like $250 to ship. Boss said no. Forgot it for a year and now he wants the filter. Price is now $920 and only $60 to ship. That got approved immediately. This thing ships motor freight and its in this absurd heavy duty wood box on a custom pallet. Its expensive to pack and ship. I bet they got enough complaints about the shipping costs that they just bake the packaging price into the price of the filter, and the 60 bucks is about what the truck part of it actually costs.
