I have pretty much given up buying avything from the USA. Are their overseas postage fees really that exhorbitant at the other end? We are talking $25 - $30 for very small packages, compared to around $10 - $15 equivalent delivery method from the UK.

Totally agree, the postage rates are a joke. Saying that It can't be good for business U.S side as im sure international sales count for for a large percentage. I used to buy cd's and records from the U.S with no problem on Ebay, but will not now due to over the top postage.

I live in Melbourne Australia. Every single item I look at on eBay USA has shipping charges which far exceed the cost of the item, and I am talking about small packages. The shipping charges can range from US$25 to US$50 for small similar sized items. Then I have to factor in the exchange rate. I think eBay itself should negotiate on behalf of all its sellers and have set prices over a range of weights and sizes and of course destinations. Many sellers in China throw in shipping for free. The whole point of eBay is to find a bargain. Otherwise there is no point of dealing on eBay. I'm sure the eBay offices don't pay crazy shipping prices when they have goods delivered,

Why would eBay want to lower the cost of shipping when they charge commission on shipping.
