So I sold a comics lot on ebay. Some guy in Peru wins the auction for $21.50. The problem is that the cheapest shipping to Peru is nearly double the price of what he paid for the auction ($38). I know he's going to come back and tell me to screw myself, but what the hell can I do? Follow Me On |

Also, Peru is one of the 2 postal black holes (the other being Italy), so you may want to go with the most expensive option for safety on your end. | |

Should be around 30-35 with delivery confirmation and add insurance for 2-3 dollars.

Usually UK, but this is the first time where shipping price really bothered me. Most items I send are usually less than 2 pounds. Follow Me On | |

I want to warn you that if you ship any other way except for Express Mail International to Peru, you will not have a way to track the item. Priority Mail International does not offer tracking to Peru. If the buyer were to file a paypal dispute, saying they never got the item, your only recourse is to provide a tracking number. Peru is a place that won't even let you send toys to their country!
I realize the items only cost the seller $20, and Express Mail International is expensive, but I wanted to let you know your options. Quote:
