Is the fan surface silk or paper?

It is a very lightweight fabric, but I am not sure if it is silk. Definitely not paper. I purchased a sandalwood hand fan from another vendor, and it really isn't as nice as this one. It comes with a nice cover to keep it covered and protected from anything sharp that may be in a lady's purse. The picture really doesn't do it justice. It really is quite pretty. I am very pleased with it.

Can this be used for a performance? If it can, does it have a snapping sound to it when extended quickly?

This fan does not snap out nor does it stay extended well. Mine does not close smoothly either two of the ribs have to be individually closed. No sound can be associated to the opening of the fan. Still, it is pretty, functions well for moving the air around, and is sturdy.

Why does it say free shipping when they want to charge over $17.00 in shipping and handling.... ?

I know what you are going through with the inconsistent info. I went through a Hassle of 2 hours trying to figure it out myself with two different Amazon rep yesterday. The summary is that they are trying to correct it now, as of 6/7/18, but meantime you can select a different seller who offers truly a free shipping. I just bought one for $2.70 with free shipping. But even with the seller I bought from was a little tricky. There was approximately $28.00 shipping fee when I tried to purchase two of them, so I had to settle for just one which was truly a free shipping. I suppose we all must be very careful when checking out a payment transaction even with Amazon.
