    International Shipping
                     

    I listed an item with the option to ship internationally via ebay. The estimated cost for that was $26-35 USD but when the order came through, the shipping charge was just $11 (USPS Media Mail), and the ebay label says I ship it to an address in Glendale, IL, and then it goes out internationally from there. Is that correct? It just seems too little money to ship two books from Michigan to Australia.

    @psickmangarner ,

     

    As a seller, you only had to pay the shipping cost from Mi. to Glendale Ill, the International shipping hub.  The buyer paid for the international shipping and customs fees separately when they checked out.  So $11.00 Media Mail seems about right. The link below explains how it works for a buyer.
