The above samples show how the P&H can vary and also the Items listed price varies...."remember that"

---------------------------------------------

What "we" finally settled on re postage and Handling was to have a flat rate postage of $8.90 australia wide, and if the postage came to say $25.00 then we would increase the listed price of the item to compensate any loss incurred in P&H

 

As you can see from the samples above, that it is a practice used by others.
