    well with such a response from rasesh i had to say a few things. 

    shipping is expensive if its a timely shipment say overnight or
    something, buying 1 stone and paying the shipping fee sucks, no
    question about it. sellers that are at least decent should have
    bought more than one stone to ship to you to alleviate the shipping.
    i sometimes ship strait postal mail well packaged of course to save
    on shipping. many buying on ebay think they are getting a great deal
    on a 99 cent stone but they pay 9.99 in shipping thats retarded. for
    example i have some glacier blue topaz we all now its an inexpensive
    stone so if i charge a buck for the stone and 9.99 for shipping i
    have made money id rather see appropriate pricing and shipping but
    ebay will never try to regulate this because its an auction site and
    auctions are dishonest by nature. i sold on ebay but i tried to use
    appropriate pricing but was not able to do so.
