I agree. (see below)

eBay has killed 'dead in the water' international sales. If the eBayer (colic2bullsgirlore) who posted the excellent research under the topic "FREE postage on multiples" would like to apply his research skills to determining the number of sellers now (since May 15th) offering international shipping as opposed to Australia-only sales, I would be very interested!

For people posting comments "agreeing with" eBay's decision to charge FVF on postage (probably a vanishingly small proportion of eBay sellers, and I am very suspicious that such postings have been made by eBay employees), please consider the following:

I had the same uneasy feeling about people who supported ebay in my previous posting. A look at their postings indicated that a few at least looked genuine and not "plants". There may be plants though; ebay has enough money to throw around!!

Those few that support ebay mostly sell low value items targeting domestic market only. So at the most, they pay ebay only 70c extra. Not like us who target worldwide market.

Ebay has basically killed our export business and killed the golden goose. I am now adding $6-7 extra on top of the already very high international shipping prices to cover postage and my packaging expenses. Don't know if anyone is going to buy.
