    Yeah, that was my bad, I was misreading the idea and my brain went the wrong way, I caught it and edited it.

    I had a feeling.

    Personally, I'd tell someone to go to hell if they expected me to front the bill (as a seller or middleman) for that, lol.

    I don't think this guy was trying to pull a fast one. The reason I say that is because it recalculates for all of us. If it was a fixed cost, I would say yeah, looks weird.

    Also, I can see your concern from the screen shot, but those can be off. You don't know where the other people are shipping from. Also, your not certain the shipping method.

    I calculated the shipping on eBay as if it were going to Sweden (via Canada) and the amount came to $168.

    Poor guy is gonna have his listing pulled, lol.

    Anyway, international shipping is expensive. I've taken enough losses on that shit to know. Unfortunately, in my dealings with certain international buyers on the boards, they can't seem to get it through their heads that international shipping isn't cheap. They act as if you're in the same country as them.

    Also, to make note of all those set prices on the rest, that isn't exactly a fast method. That is for like 3-4 week shipping speeds.
