What is with some outfit in California listing stainless and titanium
mufflers on ebay (Mazda section) for a couple of dollars  and $29.99
shipping, even if shipped next door.

Many companies do this. It simplifies their internal book keeping operations.
One price for all shipping averages out nation wide.

It is a rip-off Paul. I wanted to buy a $15 seat belt and the shipping was
$26. I asked if I can buy 2 belts with the same shipping? Guess what? They
said I have to pay $52 shipping for $30 belts? What do you think?

Yes you need to always check the price of shipping as some slim ball
companies quote a low ball price on the part for competitive reasons
and make it up on excessive shipping cost.

I assumed everybody knew about that particular scam :)

That frequently happens with Amazon when you buy a heavy book
but it is not exactly the same thing.
