Shipping Fee's INSIDE & OUTSIDE USA:
My shipping Fee's are guestimate that reflect a combination of Packaging, Insurance, and eBay Shipping Fee's.  Prices have gone up at the Post Office + eBay now penalizes Sellers for charging for shipping and in turn now charges us a fee if we charged you!  There is no way I could ship free--I'd end up losing money on the sale.  So, unfortunately these eBay shipping fee's are built into my price.  If I overcharged you on Shipping, Packaging, and eBay Shipping Fee's, I am happy to refund any overage over .00.
Shipping OUTSIDE USA:
I ship Express Mail or FEDEX or UPS, which although more expensive, allows me to TRACK & INSURE.
