What part of "as long as the buyer pays the shipping cost" didn't you understand? When I sell something on eBay, I either use their service to calculate shipping costs and add them to the price, or I charge a flat rate that covers the most distant location, or I hide the cost of shipping in the cost of the item where it doesn't show. That's what everyone who has a clue about shipping does when they sell stuff.
And I am well aware of how easy it is to print your own shipping labels at home, because I do it often when I sell things on eBay, after I put the label on the box, I still have to schlep the box to the local shipping center that handles FedEx, UPS, and the USPS.
the point made if shipping cost is too high the buyer will not carry through, he will abandon his quest for the eqpt..
Srila Prabhupada once said:
Therefore, in the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is said that this is the incarnation of God in this age. And who worships Him? The process is very simple. Just keep a picture of Lord Chaitanya with His associates.
