In the past five days, I have sold 2 textbooks and one DVD.
The items total $69.28. After shipping, I have made $52.97. The reason shipping cost almost $17 is that I always include insurance on items costing more than $20. Just in case.
It has been a good five days.

Amber, what is the blue and white label? Does the label say the price of the package?
