I sold well over a 1000 disks and didn't charge anything for s/h. Generally if I sell something else on e bay with value and weight I split the actual cost with the buyer. If it goes over $100 I'll pick up the tab. Recently I sold an original Peter Max acrylic on canvas for a friend...because of it's value I set a $75 fee for insurance and shipping....My cost was $115...but then the painting went for $3700...
