I'm smart enough to realize that the seller would like to make a profit with their auction. I see absolutely no problem with that. Would I mark-up my shipping fees that high? No, but I WOULD mark it up high enough so that I do see a little profit for my efforts.

Again, if you don't feel comfortable with the high shipping fees, don't buy.
