Thank you, yes it is a very pretty egg. I accept payment for exact shipping cost through Paypal, I purchase postage from USPS via the Paypal site, and I always add delivery confirmation (which is free if you purchase the postage online). This way, there is a tracking number I can provide to the Winner, and we both have confirmation that the item was shipped to the correct address and delivered successfully. I have indeed noticed that some auctions include stipulations for free shipping if the high bid hit a certain number such as “1000”, however, at this time, I would be unable to monetize those extra Listia credits to recover my out of pocket expenses. If Listia credits were exchangable for cash to Paypal or postage to shipping carriers, that would be awesome...
