Why does Amazon not give you enough shipping credit?

Question

Today i sold a DVD for around 33 bux on amazon. amazon gave me 3 bux shipping credit, but i paid close to 9 to send the dvd! what is up with this???

Answer 1

I don't understand why it cost you $9 to send a DVD. I mean, it's a pretty light item, so I'm confused.

Also, you might want to know that there's something called a Media Mail rate that is sometimes cheaper than shipping first-class. It really depends on the weight, but next time you ship something that's a book/CD/DVD, be sure to mention that it's media mail and see what's cheaper.
