Shipping and taxes

[Walley]

I've been pondering about this question and was wondering what other people thought.
I started selling on ebay and list a flat rate shipping for my items. Let's say someone bought a shirt and I listed the shipping at $5. The shipping actually cost me $3 when I shipped out the shirt.

What do I do with the extra money? Do I count it as profit and just add it to my gains?

Will it be easier if I just pay for the shipping and deduct the shipping fees from my tax?
