Ah, ebay's Global Shipping Program!
Now that's worthy of a whole new thread!!

Do I enjoy paying an "import fee" and thirty USD shipping for something that can be posted in an envelope?!!
A Leather trade label was the last example.
I screamed black-and-blue, but in the end I needed the label so had to bend over and drop my dacks.

That 3rd party shipping company is a pack of thieves.

For a while I was PM'ing the sellers to let them know what ebay was charging me for shipping, and urging them not to use that option.
Now I just exclude US-based listings from my ebay searches.
