    Well just be honest about the postage prices and charge exactly what you are been charged by the shipping company, some companies would give you a discount on shipping but you would have to be selling a seriousally large amount of goods.

    Well, there is always the option to charge a little more for shipping and handling. All though, from the look of this post, it sounds like you don't want to charge anything extra like that. Am I correct? If so, please explain your reasoning.

    yes but it will need time to the site to get popular and to make alot of sales :(

    i thinked that i will write the shipping prices the customer will pay for it

    but this will make me lose my clients and they willnot tell their

    freinds and family about me :(

    all i am saying i will sell cheap products ranging between

    1 - 30 $

    so if the shipping price is 10$ for a 1$ product this will not satisfy my customers

    There's nothing you can do, just be honest with the s/h prices, and try to get a discount from a shipping company. You could try UPS or FedEx. Or if you're really feeling guilty about the s/h prices, you could absorb some of the costs yourself in order to get a cheaper shipping rate for your customer. But that will of course cut into your profits.

    so I take it you have explored alternative shipping providers? Like for me using USPS is 9/10 cheaper than using UPS or Fedex for instance.
