Man, its crazy getting things shipped here off ebay.
I ask them why and they say ebay does it? Do they not take it to the post office?
eBay currently offers the Global Shipping Program, where sellers agree to ship their items that would otherwise go overseas to a third-party shipping center that handles everything else. Opting in to the program means that sellers have no control over the international shipping rate, but they're only liable for getting the item to that shipping center, while its arrival to the overseas winner is all on eBay's hands. I use it myself as extra insurance against the kind of dickheads I've seen others complain about ripping people off in these parts, but do so well aware that it might be a turn-off to some potential buyers.
