Shipping has gotten amazingly expensive. I have a handful of old collectibles that are not heavy but need a bigger box and I'm seeing shipping rates at their cheapest being $40 to $300 depending on ZIP code.
I'm constantly getting messages from potential bidders accusing me of trying to scam people by overcharging for shipping; I have on every auction that shipping costs are determined by item dimensions and weight (everything I sell is ready to ship upon payment). I always offer a few options for shipping (USPS and UPS usually being the go-to).
There's no sunrise on the horizon for this, though maybe rates might drop again after the holiday season by a little bit. Just stinks that I picked the worst possible time to start selling these larger items.
