Yes but when I used to sell I sold at auction with free postage included and started at $0.99 so my postage was really free and no buyer was paying for it at all and there are alot of sellers that list this way also.

The way things are now, if you sold at auction starting at 99c with free postage, you'd soon be in the red. 'Ordinary' items rarely attract more than one bid these days and I don't understand why some sellers continue to run auctions. I know there are some that find auctions still a good way to sell, but I think these would be far and few between (at least for the sort of items I am usually looking for).
