$8.80 to ship a freakin' Christmas card????? Her reasoning is even better on her about me page...
"Shipping, Handling and Insurance fees are non-refundable. You are NOT quoted EXACT POSTAGE so please note the stated shipping/handling/insurance quote on your auction page. I will combine your shipping whenever possible for multiple wins. Please take into account every seller has different overhead charges. Some of the overhead that sellers deal with are monthly postage meters rentals, daily bulk pickup service charges from USPS, UPS and/or FedEx, warehouse staff payroll, postage meter supplies, a supply of packing materials & envelopes (yes, Priority mail stuff is free but other items are not), time & effort to quickly, safely & securely pack your item, storage space rental, boxes for items shipped other than Priority, time to calculate the different shipping rates for each shipment,insurance for your item, time to fill out required carrier paperwork, gas for multiple daily trips to the post office or other shipping facilities, label printers & thermal labels, etc., etc. The list goes on and on and varies from seller to seller but please don't be so quick to knock the handling charges until you have sold items on Ebay yourself."

Honestly, if you can't make enough profit off of the item to make a profit...don't sell and charge asanine shipping charges....
