    No shipping was mentioned.

    It's right under the "time to go". It's variable depending on
    distance from the senders zip code. For me it's $45. How it can cost
    $45 to send via United States Post Office priority mail (that's not
    their overnight service, BTW) an at most 2lb box from Florida to MA
    is beyond me, and I think that was the original posters point.

    Must pop up only if you're logged in to e-bay. I'm not logged in so under time to go, mine has a calculate link. Now, when I click on that and enter
    my zipcode, I get a charge of $49.50...

    Still rediculous for Priority Mail. You can get Express Mail next-day
    service for that. Looks like he's marking up shipping just to make
    more on the auction.

    The things retail for $250 and I've never heard of the company, so I
    woulddn't go near an auction with $150 bid and not even meeting the
    reserve yet for an unknown box, but that's just me.

    I get $65.45 for my zipcode. What a rip.

    Correct - the flat-rate priority box up to 4lb is like $7 or $8 !!!

    The flat-rate Priority boxes are actually $8.90 for all the weight you can cram into them. I send them weighing over ten pounds all the time. Anywhere in
    the US of A, any weight, the price is exactly $8.90. The boxes are available in
    two different shapes, but ship at the same price.
