I can't seem to be able to figure out how to contact the folks at GunBroker but I'm wondering why they don't have a UPS postage calculator in the listings? I keep getting people asking the shipping cost for my listings. Its getting to be a pita.[?]

  I wouldn't be aggravating myself over something like that. Just quote a flat fee for postage, rather then the specific postage for each individual item. If they are willing to buy your stuff, the specific postage fees down to the small change shouldn't make any difference.

  I just go to www.ups.com and use the "CALCULATE TIME & COST" feature. You will need the zip code for the buyer.
  In my listings I put they will pay acctual cost for shipping if the item won't go in a USPS flat rate box.

  Postage calculators are absolutely useless and in most instances will add to much money to the postage. If your not selling big bulky items go buy yourself a postal scale and they can be had for under $25.00. Weigh you item and add about a pound for the box and packing material and then go on the USPS web site and get your rate. You can print your own postage and even arrange for a pick up. You don't need any special labels you can just tape the printed label to the box. You can get all the boxes you need for free at that site also. End of problem.
