Personally, if I have to ship internationally, it involves a lot more
then just filling out a little form. I ship everything domestically
using Priority USPS service and use Priority Boxes and have my labels
printed right off of Paypal, and just drop the box off at the post
office in a box, no waiting on line. If I send Internationally, I need
to use at least 2 extra pieces (above the 2 that I always use
domestically) of double wall cardboard that I pay 50 cents each for to
have professionally cut, plus I must take the time to hand address the
package and fill out the little customs form and worst of all is I
must stand in line at the post office for a minimum of 20 minutes to
have this processed. If an item sells for my minimum of $9.99, I lose
money when I just charge the actual postage rate, so personally I try
to only allow bids on items of higher value from international
bidders. Does anyone have a suggestion as to more easily ship and
handle international shipments? Thanks, Evan B.

Disgusting. Takes about 90 seconds to fill out that form.

I wasnt too impressed with a seller who recently said that he had
charged an additional fee of $5.00 for having to fill out that
little green customs sticker that goes on an international package.
Its no wonder that eBay have been trying to crack down on sellers
who gouge on postage.
