It's right under the "time to go". It's variable depending on
distance from the senders zip code. For me it's $45. How it can cost
$45 to send via United States Post Office priority mail (that's not
their overnight service, BTW) an at most 2lb box from Florida to MA
is beyond me, and I think that was the original posters point.

Correct - the flat-rate priority box up to 4lb is like $7 or $8 !!!

Must pop up only if you're logged in to e-bay. I'm not logged in so under
time to go, mine has a calculate link. Now, when I click on that and enter
my zipcode, I get a charge of $49.50...

Still rediculous for Priority Mail. You can get Express Mail next-day
service for that. Looks like he's marking up shipping just to make
more on the auction.

The things retail for $250 and I've never heard of the company, so I
woulddn't go near an auction with $150 bid and not even meeting the
reserve yet for an unknown box, but that's just me.

I get $65.45 for my zipcode. What a rip.

The flat-rate Priority boxes are actually $8.90 for all the weight you can
cram into them. I send them weighing over ten pounds all the time. Anywhere in
the US of A, any weight, the price is exactly $8.90. The boxes are available in
two different shapes, but ship at the same price.
