I know a guy who sells thousands of parts a year on ebay and on some items he makes more on the shipping than he does the part. He even charges 2.00 for optional insurance (most people buy it) which he also sticks in his pocket. He self insures; he replaces 2 or 3 items per year while making a few grand on insurance. So I guess you could say he sells shipping and he sells insurance; very profitable.
