That's like in the US...
"Oh look it's $1.99!"
Cashier: "$2.12 please"
"Mother fucking tax, god damn it."

No the worst is when they offer priority shipping in the US for $20-$30 when we all know it costs $6, that's such bull and obliviously them trying to make their product seem cheap but tax the hell out of shipping

This is a great idea, free shipping really affects how I make my purchases along with someone charging 16 bucks for shipping.

on MEM, when you hover over a shipping option, it calculates the total+shipping on the black bar at the top of the browser that shows up when you do such things. Also when you hover over a bitcoin amount, it converts the currency equivalency in USD. I found it really helpful!

You see vendors doing this for two reasons, the lower the item price the earlier it will be seen by people searching by price (I imagine this is the first step for New buyers) and shipping cost doesn't get included in market commission, so you earn 4% more per order, so that's why it happens
As to the price being higher than a stamp, shipping includes stamp, envelope/box, MBB, vac, decoy, time
As to your idea of shipping being included in the price of an item what about items with multiple shipping options, should they all be unique listings?

Good shipping will take half an hour to a hour how much is a vendors time worth.

I know what you mean. Id been so used to the vendors id last been using on Agora, included shipping in the price, then when I moved to Abraxas, I totally forgot and didn't buy enough bitcoin.
Was really lucky though, because as I was sorting it out to buy some more btc when my agora withdrawal came through. It wasn't much, but more than enough to cover shipping.
I really don't mind the vendors having shipping costs, I just wish at least, if they would put the shipping costs in small writing, under the cost of the product, or at least make it easily seen that shipping is either included or not.
I agree that it looks like gaming the system but I like to think that we're paying for more than just the postage itself. Hopefully we're also paying for gloves, vac sealer bags, solid packages, decoys, travel time/expense to drop locations, etc.
If anything those are aspects of a vendor's shipping where I don't want low costs and corners cut. I want to pay a premium.
