ebay.com shipping help needed please

[ADELAIDE CHILLI SOURCE]

Hi all

I apologize if this has been discussed before but i couldn't find a thread that explained this clearly at all.

What i am after is some examples ( links to existing listings etc) Of what to put for shipping info to the USA
I have a heap of cards i am wanting to list on ebay.com and the only thing that has been holding me back for some time is i am worried about getting ripped off and am unsure on what to charge for shipping, ( do i list the cheap option or insist on tracking for all?)

What do some of you guys do? and have you had much trouble?
thanks
karl

This is what I used for international.

* Postage - Australia: FREE registered post
* Postage - International: AUD$23.00 (Australia Post Registered International)

The tracking number from Australia will not be trackable on Australia Post but is trackable on the USPS website.

Thanks or that, just not sure about the $23, i will lose a lot of sales if i only use that option, but is it worth taking a risk and using the cheaper option?

try the calculator - obviousily items below a certain amount, you have to decide whether to charge the AUD$23 or just normal postage (non-registered).

You're right, but in the same, we all buy from overseas' sellers who charge just a few bucks postage. The cards MOST of the time turn up, but for those that don't they're not covered with PayPal protection, and should that happen to you, you'd want to be covered, yeah!

Pretty sure PayPal don't accept the good ol' "pay the registered price or you're not covered" message that I've seen on ebay a few times. Better to cover your own arse, and avoid it all together man!
