Selling to overseas buyers, tips ?

[Kangawallaby]

As a relative newb I've already found myself with a lot of cards I would like
to trade however it seems that it's hard to find someone that had something you want and vice versa.

How do you guys go about selling OS via eBay etc ?
What's the best shipping option and rough costs?
Is it only worth it of a card is a certain value?

Just some general advise would be great.

I think by limiting myself AU I'm shrinking my possible market?


Thanks

You're right, trading is tough nowadays, I put it down to people wanting different things now with so many options out there. Trading happens but collectors are selective and know what they want.

You generally are limiting yourself only shipping within Aus.

I ship OS a lot. I don't block any countries, yet But I mainly sell to US buyers on ebay, sometimes China, Indonesia and Taiwan.

Ebay is good. Generally I ship cards under $50 for about $5 standard post.

A higher end item I get some type of tracking which can cost anywhere between $23 - $50 (Express)

At the end of the say, you can always put stuff on ebay with a BIN and be selective with who you sell to.
