...and people wonder why I make the shipping a separate charge. :wink:
When I list my auctions, I'm always clear that the price quoted for shipping is an ESTIMATE and that the actual shipping price may be more, or less than the amount quoted. I also state the reason - because the ebay shipping rate feature is usually wrong when quoting amounts, and that this way neither the buyer, or myself overpays for shipping.
In this case, if the seller stated that international is more - then it's up to you to find out "how much" more to your address.
