Exchange rates

[michellebartley]

The exchange rate from one US dollar is $1.23 Aus yet when I had to pay postage of US $16.00 it amounted to AU$26.00. Just seems a big difference.

I thought it did it automatically ? Ask the seller is that correct. What is the item number ?

[michellebartley]

Item no is: 301410307245

But I bought two.

My guess is that the seller is using the Global Shipping Program which incurs extra charges which don't show in the actual listing.

21.70us is approx 26.70AU but paypal do not give you the official rate they are always a few cents less.

Are they not available here in Aust. As mentioned, the Seller uses GSP. 😞  IMO they  ( GSP ) are useless

it says in the listing
US $12.75 (approx. AU $15.72) USPS First Class Mail Intl / First Class Package Intl Service

Michelle, the seller is using First Class Airmail and the combined shipping is US$16.75.  If the seller adds tracking that will be more and when paypal gives yout the approximate exchange rate it is just the straight exchange rate.  When you actually pay through paypal they build their fees into the rate so it will be more again.
