You can deduct all shipping costs you paid either shipping to you or that you paid to ship to your customer. 

 

Don't think I understand your #2.  If you charge the customer the full amount plus shipping then that is your gross income.  You can then enter the total shipping as a separate expense.  

 

#3 The whole shipping amount is an expense.  See #2.  

 

Probably would help to use examples with amounts. Say you charge the customer $220.  $200 for the item and $20 for shipping.  You enter $220 for income.  Then you enter the $20 shipping as an expense and the net profit would be the $200.  But if the shipping actually cost you $30 you enter the $30 expense.  Then your net profit would be $220-30=$190.
