The total will also include other fees that the seller might have as well as
potential shipping cost event though they are not displayed. If you continue
into the process, it should be updated on the next series of pages.

But that's idiotic! If I know the amount of the additional costs, I also
know what they are and can name them.

Apparently this has been an issue for a long time, but has not been fixed yet.
The biggest worry is why it has to take so long to fix something as important
as a check out process.

I have broken off several carts when seeing the cost, I didn't click to the
2nd page, I had no reason to. So stores missed out on sales because the price
shown is incorrect. I know now to click to the next screen.
