How to cover postage costs if item sells outside Australia.

I am returning to eBay after a few years break. I mainly trade in books, and in the past frequently sold to buyers outside Australia. That was easy when the postage cost was not included in the ebay fee structure. Now that it is I am stymied about what minimum cost (starting bid) price I need to set to avoid ending up paying, instead of being payed, at the end of the transaction, if the book goes overseas. Or do I give up and just sell within Australia. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I've got the  selling 'bug', and some  time at the moment, but want my processes properly in place before I start.

Just add a packing and handling fee that will cover the ebay fees on the postage component.

Increase your item price to cover the ebay and paypal fees.
