If you want a good, reliable, accurate and quality digital LED panel-mounted style voltmeter and that is made in the US of A,

Not the OP's question at all.

My point is that if you can get one from China for $2.67 including shipping, and a US made equivalent is approaching 20 times the price of the Chinese one, what kind of quality is it and do you really want one? I don't care how they can ship for such a low price, at any shipping cost, I don't think I'd want one.

Shipping on these mini panel display meters within the US is under $2 on ebay so the shipping cost out of China isn't drastically less. These panel displays are as low as $1.28 on ebay with free shipping out of China! After ebay and Paypal fees, other expenses and the item cost, what does that leave for shipping and the seller? Even if the original item cost is zero, how do they do it at $1.28?

Interestingly, when I originally searched for one of these things and wanted a domestic made one, everything that kept coming up on google was Chinese and it took some effort to find a US made one. If you look on ebay, you'll find they're pretty much all shipped from China except for a small handful.
