Howdy!
Unless it's cheap, discount fabric ala Wallyworld,
you'd pay $2 (or more) per FQ at a quilt shop or quilt show.
If this seller wants to be compensated for her own time and effort,
good for her; she can set the prices wherever she pleases
(those FQs don't cut/tear themselves g).
Money talks; yours can say, "No, thanks!" ;-)

Surfing around ebay this afternoon I found a FQ I liked, but the woman
wants $2 to stick it in an envelope and mail it. I emailed her and said
she could put it in an envelope and mail it for 39 cents, could she be
more reasonable on the shipping price. She said her prices were lower
than anyone elses, and she wasn't going to lower the shipping price.

It seems to me in the last six months or so, there have been more and more
people on ebay price gouging in the shipping department. Week before last
I calculated the shipping on a 5-ounce book via media mail, $1.52. The
guy wanted over $5 for shipping!

I can understand adding a bit in the shipping department if you have to do
a lot of packing, like I have to do for my pottery, but shoving a FQ into
an envelope, or a book even, that's a no-cost proposition other than the
postage. It's getting to the point where people want more for shipping
than you pay for the item. sigh I hate price gougers.
