<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1782754, member: 25270"]Any time I have sold coins and combined shipping, eBay gives me the option of entering the shipping fee on the invoice. Then when I go to buy shipping from their site, they charge me whatever it costs. The two factors are not related as far as they are concerned. You can charge whatever you want, and eBay will charge you whatever it costs. One snag I noticed is that you need to fill out the customs form, and it will list the coins separately and expect you to enter a weight for each of them. It does not accept numbers under 1 ounce, and yours will not add up correctly if you enter 1 ounce for each. So what I had to do is erase every pre-filled in spot and just do one item with the total weight.</p><p> </p><p>Global shipping this way is expensive. I feel like there should be a cheaper option but I don't understand the post office rules enough to use it. A 2 ounce package costs about $6.50 to ship internationally, and 3 ounces is more than $9. That doesn't seem right. I get packages a lot cheaper from other countries. I got a huge package from Portugal for less than that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
