Firstly you have to find out where the money in postage goes:
1. eBay fees (if ebay lowered their fees then so would sellers)
2. paypal fees. Having together ebay and paypal fees is like a tax on a tax.
2. Australia Post. They keep raising the cost to post an item which is in turn passed on to the consumer.
3. Handling fees. Time is money so the time to post an item has a value on it, not to mention petrol costs.
I charge $5 postage on my $3 items which gets me a loss. I only make money on those when they buy in bulk or my other sales offset the loss but with the OP - if all they're selling is DVDs and only sell one per customer then the price is quite fair.
