Listen to robin it is your auction don't let orhers run your auctions.. You will get a lot and I mean a lot of people trying to tell you how to run "Your" auction but as robin said if they want it they'll bid regardless of shipping or credit costs... Great auction and welcome to Listia!
its about $20.00 to ship from coast to coast- it your auction don't let them run it for you.. you have a great item- your auction looks good to me.. don't change it
it will cost $20.00 to ship coast to coast by USPS.. your auction looks good to me don't let them run your auction for you - if they want IT they'll Bid on it.
As an objective observer, I will help you. In this situation, you should offer free shipping so that your bidders will know there will not be a delay in receiving their win after the auction is over. In the meanwhile, make a few transactions on your paypal account just to find out how it works, then in your next auction you will have your email address set up to quickly receive your estimated shipping cost and bidders won't have much concern. If you make your own box and tape it together, shipping should be about 8 dollar in the US. But You can get alot of credits for an item like this so I'd advise you offer free shipping; everyone's waiting to bid!
