Don't your customers have to "handle" it too? They have to take
delivery (sometimes that means picking it up from UPS, USPS, etc.),
unpack it, and dispose of the packing materials. Why can't you
take your effort into account in the selling price?

I've gotten a number of complaints like that because I (like everyone else
on eBay) charge about $5 handling. It takes time to pack it up and ship it.
Beats the heck out of me why they complain, when all they have to do is bid
accordingly, or not bid at all.
One guy won the auction and then demanded I reduce the shipping; like he is
somehow special. I told him to forget about it and I sold it to the next
bidder.
