[stig01]

Hi

in my favorites i have a US item saved and postage says 19.95 au but when i go to auction amount changes to eg 26.50au, its the same auction same price for item but postage alters.

does not happen with UK items or AU, ANYONE  know what's happening another ebay rip off?

Thanks

that usa seller is probably using GSP (Global shipping program) which adds more to the postage upon purchase

the seller ships to the GSP provider (a company called PitneyBowes) and then they repack and onship to Australia.... its expensive, slow and not many aussie buyers like it.
