You have free shipping on your items.
You have from $2. and up prices that include Free shipping.

First class and Media mail starts over $2.00. You are going to loose money.

Need to change from free shipping to calculated shipping.

[URL removed] Yes, you need to account Bonanza fees and Payment processor fees into your pricing.

as stated..you have free shipping on many low cost items..need to set up either calc First class shipping or media mail shipping or set a flat rate..

You also need to consider that there will be a bonanza fee (minimum of $0.50) and a paypal fee too. You will have to set your prices to cover these fees and if you continue with free shipping you will have include shipping in the price also…

suggest you visit the USPS website and look for commercial base pricing lists for media and first class mail
