What's up with ebay's shipping rate calculator?

Usually, I just go by memory or look at the USPS website, but every time I've ever looked at the ebay rate calculator, the rate is something way inflated like, for example, $27.40 for 1 lb. (one LP) via Global Express to Italy. Or $17.50 via Airmail Parcel Post. I confess to being a newbie with international shipping, but isn't this like a $10-12 package???

    Are there shipping and handling charges on the item?

    Yeah, but isn't the rate calculator chart (not the final amount) just supposed to tell you what to add for shipping? Or is the rate that appears in the chart the total factoring in the selling price and the shipping?

    They don't work that I've seen. I got a total of $13 shipping for priority from Memphis to NY. They're broke and eBay needs to adjust them. For now, ignore them.
