Default Help with ebay!

Is there anything you can do about people charging super high for shipping in order to make money? For instance I'm bidding on an air filter for $3.99. On ebay all the others for the same filter are like $17.00 or so. Well I'm like good ----. Until I notice hes saying $12.00 to ship to the lower 48 states. Is there anyway I can get around the ownage of bumping up shipping costs? Or do I just have to deal with it?

just go buy the filter from the store. its not worth all that $$ for shipping a filter that weighs as much as a penny.

also guys, remember ebay charges a rediculous final value fee. look at the guy selling rotas for 14 bucks a pair with 400 dollars shipping. he does that to save a good amount of cash....3 percent of 450 is like 15 bucks. 3 percent of 14 bucks is like not even a dollar...
