You're an eBay seller's dream customer.
No, I'm aware it's still going to be $18. But you wouldn't try to argue about the point if you ordered on Amazon or whatever and picked multiple items and the shipping was still $13 lol.
I've got a brand new Tesla for sale for $50, would you like it? Shipping is $600k
Well I have a router for sale that costs only $2!

* shipping is $20

How much is the VAT?
In the US, VAT doesn't happen
In the US many people evade paying sales tax
TCO is a thing.
