Hey guys & gals, I know a BIG bone of contention with us collectors is that the US collectors charge WAY too much for postage !!! To be honest it's a JOKE !!! Anyway I thought I would tell you all about some recent success I had at negotiating a price.
First of all, it was for a single card to be posted Airmail to Australia, he quoted me $5.50 which by some of the rates I have been quoted is quite reasonable. I asked him if he could check what it would cost at the post office as I was quite sure it would not cost that and he said:
Anyways he posted the card and I asked if i need to pay him any more and postage, this is the response I got:
I told him not to bother as I was happy with paying the $1.75 but CAN YOU BELIEVE IT - A honest US eBay seller !!! I wish he sold more cards I needed because I would be buying from him again.

Just pay 1.75 shipping on top of the final price of the card...and I'll ship it out the way you said....if for some reason its a lot more money to ship...then I'll let you know.

I think it was .93 cents......if you want I'll paypal you the remaining 0.83 cents.....Thanks
