I mean, some times it says $8.99 for a (i.e) Magic the gathering booster box, and $62 for shipping for a Modern Painting...http://myworld.ebay.com/art_painting_sculptures/ (those ones it says $62) And this is all in Canada (I live in Canada, so it's not a overseas charge) Kinda confused, help would be appreciated.

Okay, the seller with the paintings is doing something that is really illegal on ebay - that is, selling an item for almost nothing, meanwhile pumping up the shipping price to a ridiculous amount. This is against ebay rules and this seller should be reported to ebay for doing this. Since the paintings are large, they would normally cost about 25 dollars to ship. But the seller has added the value of the painting to the shipping cost. He thinks he is getting away with not paying a larger final value fee to ebay; however, those days are over. Ebay now charges a final value fee on the entire transaction, including shipping. You really should report him to ebay for excessive shipping fees. Ebay will make him correct the fees or ban him from selling on ebay. He gives good sellers a bad name by doing this. And this is just a great example of why you should always read the ad in its entirety and ask questions before bidding, so you aren't surprised in any way once the auction is over.
