    Yes, but overcharging for shipping more than a "reasonable amount"
    (those are ebay's words) is against the rules, as is forcing a
    person to pay an unreasonable amount for insurance, like $1 for each
    thing you buy on a multiple auction. 

    Since I can't put in an ebay link, here is the text from the ebay
    website (I hope that is OK): 

    Here is the specific wording: 

          Unreasonable shipping or handling costs - The seller may add
          a reasonable shipping and handling fee to the final price of
          the item, but may not charge excessive shipping and handling
          fees, excessive required insurance fees, or excessive (or not
          applicable) taxes in an effort to make the item appear
          artificially inexpensive, to avoid eBay fees, or for any other
          purposes. A shipping and handling fee may cover the seller's
          reasonable costs for mailing, packaging, and handling the item.
          Shipping and handling fees may not be listed as a percentage of
          the final sale price. 

          Please see the complete
          http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/listing-shipping.html 

          Excessive Shipping and Handling policy for more details.
