Shipping old postcards to Chinese buyers

[greenridgeal]

I have a number of antique China and Hong Kong postcards that should sell well to eBay Chinese buyers.  I need advice on the best way to ship those postcards.   First class is cheap but has no tracking and takes forever. It looks like to get the best protection against losing my good card is priority mail international but it looks like costs can range from 20-60 dollars and that seems exorbitant to put in my listing for one postcard.  For those of you successfully selling better/higher dollar cards and shipping to China what service do you use and how much shipping do you charge?? Thanks!!

Are you opted into EIS? 

I ship all international orders through ebay.

It is just easier perhaps not always cheaper.

My advice is to sell them to someone in the US rather than overseas to China. The cost of shipping as you said is expensive and if the postcards don't get to the buyer on time you run the risk of them filing a "not received" case against you. Yes some Chinese buyers might be interested in them from China but you also have Chinese buyers in the US who might want them. I have postcards up for sale now. They are slow sellers. May take years to sell.
