    Thanks for the advice JohnC4x4. It's was very helpful. I revised my auction to make it free shipping with the starting bid at .99 cents plus the online 11.30 flat rate box rate.



    British thanks for your advice as well. I'm not really that knowledgeable about international shipping. So far everything I've sold has been to places in the US. I know that flat rate medium boxes up to 20 pounds can be shipped internationally, but I don't know what the price to different places are so I'm not really sure where to make exceptions. I guess I better look that up.

    I looked up shipping rates for medium flat rate boxes. It cost way more then the boards are worth. I guess all just stick to the US for this.

    I LOVE International sales because of the additional profit they generate
    Since I have FREE Domestic shipping and Calculated International shipping
    The full amount that is built into the price to cover the Domestic shipping turns into additional profit since the International Buyer is picking up the full tab
    I package the exact same way , but will dumb down the customs form >> Since it is set up to use the eBay title
    Instead of 12K gold watch >> Becomes mans watch
