The marketplace shipping price from Amazon US is a bit OTT. The only thing I'll say is that, after doing a lot of Ebay sales from the US, getting a tracked international shipping from USPS is stupidly expensive and may be warding some people off. Italy and France are becoming notorious for losing stuff. Pain in the ass because 80% of my sales came from Europe and Japan and I had $90 worth of vinyl go missing because the buyer didn't want to pay the $30 extra for a signature. Luckily it was the only one that went astray...

I actually sold one dvd for less than $30 to the Phillipines and the buyer ended up paying more in shipping for EMS.
