[WWI] ot: Ebay shipping costs

[Christopher Malany]

Hello, Magnus:

No, it's not just you.  eBay shipping costs range from
very reasonable to outrageous, but more and more
vendors seem to be inflating shipping costs.  If they
don't disclose the shipping costs, I always ask now
first.  I've noticed that a low "Buy It Now" price and
high shipping seems to be a sales ploy by some Asian
vendors.  Sometimes total cost means I can buy from a
local hobby shop almost as cheaply, and I do.
