I think it pays to make the sale easy. I would build in PayPal and shipping in the asking price, so that the customer is attracted to the mention of free shipping and no PayPal fees. You never see a heavy shipping cost or credit card fee on a site like Best Buy, so better to buck the bad trend on audiogon and include it. What I do, living in miami, is to calculate shipping to Denver and use that as my base cost that I need to recover in my total proce. If someone from Atlanta buys, I save a bit, if someone from Seattle buys, I lose a little.
if you have large or giant speakers, that makes it a bit more challenging as the normal services have maximum sizes. However there are crowdsourcing shipping companies such as youship that can help you run some price options. You can also offer a discount for local pickup.
good luck!
