Below is the reason this has happened (besides ebay makes more money). We can all send thank you notes to people like this seller. I reported previously for 4 weeks for $50.00 shipping on a dress, that she specifically wrote that high ship covered cost of dress. Took ebay 4 weeks of reporting daily to have listing fixed. She is at it again, send her a thank you note, her and about 10,0000+ others.
$250.00 to ship a blackberry?

This listing specifically states why shipping is so high. Here is cut & paste of that part.
quote:Shipping is high to cut down on fees, Price has been REDUCED by $5.00.
