That seller has a 100% positive feedback rating. That $15.00 handling fee might
very well be partly or mostly consumed just covering the costs of the materials
used to package it. It is not an extremely small item. If they usually only
sell for
$20, and they had to eat $15.00 in expenses just to package it, the next
time they
had one, they might not even offer it for sale. They might just send it
straight to
the scrap shredder instead.
