Today's dilemma - and trust me, it's not an important one.
I won a Marvel Legends Hawkeye figure on eBay. These figures, which normally fit into a USPS Priority Mail box, weigh maybe 2 pounds max. eBay's shipping calculator insists that to ship this figure this way from Indianapolis costs $20. USPS's website, which I find to be reliable, says $5.
So if the seller insists on getting $20 to ship the thing, I'm backing out. I've never, ever had to pay that much to receive similar items.
Not that I expect to find myself in such a situation, but is this something I can report to eBay - sellers gouging buyers on shipping costs?
(it doesn't even cost $20 if you EXPRESS SHIP the figure!)
EDIT: email received from seller; he's okay with shipping regular USPS mail at a lower cost.
