Seems like some of those sellers get free shipping somehow. I won items that
winning amount could not have covered shipping.

Oh, and I should add that the seller was in Hong Kong, and he shipped
it air mail.

another issue I had was that I once bid on a car
part, and won the bid,
at
$1.00 (no reserve) and $25 shipping, so after winning he waited a week,
then
when I asked about it, no response, just refunded the $26. The key here,
is
if you don't want to sell it for $1, don't list it for $1, simply use a
reserve or put it at the actual price.
A few weeks ago, I bid on a European-to-USA plug converter for a cheap
tablet I had bought from a company in China. Opening bid was 50 cents
with free shipping. I won and it cost me exactly 50 cents, and the
seller did ship it for free.
