I recently sold several identical items on ebay. I noticed my shipping charges were almost always higher than others. When I played around with the zip, I found it had to do with where I was shipping from. It's a lot cheaper to ship from the middle of the US than from a corner.
Because of this, I also added a bit to handling.
Depending on the item, $3-5 for handling doesn't sound bad. It may take a seller a half hour to package and ship the item. So if minimum wage is $8/hr, then $4 for handling seems totally reasonable.
