James - I to agree that postage prices seem to be hitting an all time high, I send one stike with insurance for $2.00, the postage and insurance is $1.90, that leaves me a dime to cover the cost of envelopes (this is what it costs me when I buy 100 envelopes at one time). It seems that some sellers are trying to make up for slow sales and Ebay fees by raising shipping fees, they proclaim they have to be paid for their time. I am just glad these sellers are a few in number and what ever they offer I can wait for another to come along.
