Seems excessive shipping for one lip. UPS must be able to ship this.

Thing is about marking up shipping like that is let's say you buy this $50 item and pay $160 for shipping, and they send you the wrong thing. They'll refund you your item cost, but not the shipping cost. So they still make bank on their own mistake.

I don't buy from sellers like this either, and when I sell/have sold on eBay, I always charge actual shipping. If I charge extra for packing materials, I state it very clearly that I'm charging X amount to cover the cost of packing materials. It just makes you a better seller IMO.
