Tonight is the 5th time I've been asked if I'll post an item to an overseas buyers (I don't have this option selected). I have my Aus Post booklet and check the website for exact location costs, but the 2 times I sent overseas, I was left a bit out of pocket because I misunderstood the Aus Post information. I didn't bother the buyer with it as it was my fault. One was to the USA and one was to Sweden.
So this newest buyer is from Brazil, and the cheapest prepaid satchel is $28. Um...the item itself is only $12.
I just feel like I'm appearing like a bad seller as I basically have to tell these people that yes, I can send it but...the cost...
A package under 500 grams to brazil should be $28 without tracking, and $35 with. Perhaps that is what caught you out last time?
Ultimately, it is up to the buyer to decide whether the the shipping price is worth it to them to get the item they want, but bear in mind that the Aussie dollar has been trading quite poorly for the last 6 months, which means they get a bargain.
I have successfully shipped to Brazil a few times, but it's very slow. I tell them probably 4-6 weeks or longer.
If you post your shipping information here, we can check to make sure you calculated correctly.

signature, express, and tracking are extra of course. And may not actually be available in the destination country.
International is always pretty expensive, but it does get cheaper with bulk discounts. Large Letters are the only relatively cheap way to ship internationally, but that only works with small items, such as dvds or lipsticks.
