(for some reason I keep referring to the seller as a woman - dunno if that was mentioned somewhere or if it's because the picture in question is of a woman. Sticking with it just because.)
I do sell 'stuff' and I do feel that way, yeah. Because that's how this kind of online business runs - selling cheap items and charging extra for shipping.
Her profit for the "one cent" item is entirely what she makes over and above her actual shipping costs - which are maybe a quarter for the hard plastic sleeve (not a frame) and an envelope (no need for a bubble mailer with the sleeve), plus postage.
If the time spent purchasing the packing materials 'costs' the seller more than what's left out of $7.25 shipping, then she's simply made a bad decision about her online business, and that shouldn't be anyone else's problem.
