Here's a rather nice card I saw for sale, but decided to question the seller on postage.

Nasty postage

And here is his response to my question if he stated the correct figure...

I have had a lot of problems with international buyers in the past. The $45 is to deter them from placing bids on my auctions. However, if they are willing to pay the stated $45 dollar shipping fee then they are welcome to bid on my auctions. This is no error.

What a knob. If he doesn't want to sell to International, then just don't offer it world-wide.

Completely agree with you Clarkey, sellers like that are just idiots.

Its his loss in the end, the card wont sell very will without the Aussie bidders bidding Bogut cards up

If you want the Bogut/Taft dual auto, I might have a spare one lying around

Clarkey get back to him and say he must pay a $25 US seller fee as you've been ripped off by international sellers before and don't want to come away empty handed should anything go astray or not get sent ;-)

I cant believe how stupid that seller is! Why list it internationally if you have no intention of selling to international buyers. Just plain unbelievable.

That just stupid, even more so on a Andrew Bogut card, if you dont want to sell to international bidders, whether it be cos you have had bad selling experiences or your a crazy idiot, dont list as international...

Ive always found this strange, that one or two bad experiences, in this case with international buyers, buyers make this irrational decisions. I always thought, as a buyer, having a good feedback, and being quick to pay and plenty of communication was what sellers looked at when deciding whether to sell to you or not in dicey situation, not at a atlas...

Just another example of strange idiotic people ruining eBay for sane people everywhere

Ebay say that the Seller is free to charge any postage they like.

Lippo, yeah. I was watching the auction. Made me laugh when no-one else bid on it. I would've at leat pushed it higher. Thanks for the offer too, but I found a BIN for the card, with $3 postage!!!!
