Hi, I know this may be off topic, but I just wanted to know something about Shipping.
Last night I won an item on e-bay and actually I have asked the seller several hours before how much would the shipping be. He didn't answer till after the bidding ended. I placed my bid assuming that the highest shipping cost for a single item ( in this case a LOCO ) would not be more then US$ 16.00 to ship it to Malta, Europe. His shipping system is USPS ( which I don't have an idea what kind of service it is), and after the bidding ended he told me that the shipping cost would be of US$ 30.00. Is that a reasonable shipping cost? I received items from US, but shipping never costed me more then US$ 12.00, that is why I am wondering about this high cost.
Could anyone kindly advice is this shipping service this guy is using, is really so expensive, or if he is just trying to get some extra money from this?
Thanks
