yea, the shipping scame is pretty common, and cheap as hell.
If i see a seller who is going nuts with the shipping, i always send
them an email asking them if they made a mistake and mean 5.00 for
shipping instead of 50.00, etc etc, or something along those lines to
try and **** them off.

Actually, you need to report them to eBay. It is a violation of eBay
rules to pad shipping costs like that and they will end auctions that
do so if it's ridiculously obvious.
I just did a random check of shipping charges on Ebay. I looked up cell
phones. Many of the shipping charges hover close to $40!
