I buy and sell also

Buying: I always take shipping charges into account. I know how much I want to pay (all-in), subtract the shipping charges and the difference is my max bid. You can have free shipping or charge $10, it makes no difference to me. My max is my max.

Selling: I charge $2.75+25c for each additional. I want to encourage people to look at my other auctions to save. After reading the other posts, however, I may change to free shipping. Seems to make sense and adds those people that search specifically for free shipping auctions.

Great debate, these conversations can only help us all....
