For those that sell graded product internationally, how much does it typically cost to ship 1 slab from the US to the UK? Australia? Canada? Italy? Germany?

Any intel on shipping to outside the US would be appreciated.

    For each of those, eBay will charge you $12.99 for the label. That includes tracking.

    You’ll need to charge your buyer a bit more to cover the fees that eBay then charges you based on the higher total sales price.

    I experimented with several sales prices and tended to charge $9.99 for all international shipping. I knew I was taking a small loss and would factor that into the price I would accept on items. The theory was that the single digit shipping price would appear more palatable and increase buyers. I don’t have a large enough sample to confirm or deny and suspect it’s not a big mistake to charge $9.99, $12.99, or $14.99.

    Sorry, I should have read closer. Canada is the only exception, and I believe is $1 less than the other countries. They just changed the rates, now I believe $11.
