Thanks to a fellow eBayer for bringing the issue to my attention. It sounds like eBay has a bit of a sporadic glitch with shipping quotes on hand helds (iPhone, iPad etc). The eBay mobile app mistakenly shows free shipping when that is not something we offer and is not how our items are listed. To see shipping quotes our listings are best viewed on a PC. Lemmeno any questions or if I can help.
PLEASE NOTE
:
eBay is having issues with items that were sold showing up as Unsold. I've had two such issues with this over the last couple months and have notified eBay. They tell me they are working on it. However, I felt it was important to add this disclaimer and the one below so that folks are aware of the issue. This is a common reported issue on the eBay community discussion boards.

Pueblo of Isleta or Isleta Pueblo is an unincorporated community Tanoan pueblo in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, United States, originally established around the 14th century. The native name of the pueblo is Shiewhibak meaning "a knife laid on the ground to play whib", a native footrace.Pueblo pottery, one of the most highly developed of the American Indian arts, still made today in a manner almost identical to the method developed during the Classic Pueblo period about ad 1050–1300. During the 5 previous centuries when the Pueblo Indians became sedentary, they stopped using baskets for carrying & began to manufacture & use clay pots, which had been cumbersome, breakable, and generally unsuited to their former nomadic lifestyle. Pueblo pots, made only by the women of the tribe, are constructed not on a potter’s wheel but by hand. Long “sausages” of clay are coiled upward around a flat base of clay until the pot reaches the desired height; when the coiling is completed, the interior and exterior of the pot are smoothed, and the round coils are pressed together to form a smooth wall of the pot. Pots are then coated with slip, a watery clay substance, polished, decorated, and fired.
