Hi all,

The below link details what (at first glance, haven't had a real chance to review it) is a possibly decent watch. However, just wondering whats going on with postage costs?
I've never bought a watch from the US but this figure seems steep?!

eBay’s calculators estimate high. I sent a guitar to Slovakia for less than $100 using USPS.

Ask for the real rate or you can calculate yourself on the USPS site using a medium flat-rate Priority Mail box.

That makes sense.
Im not interested in buying it just that the postage costs jumped out at me and if were in line with expected rates would need to factor in should I ever buy/sell via the US.
Cheers 😉

International buyers cost ebay sellers more. They are charged 1.5 percent more by paypal and shipping from us can get expensive fast. I got a quote yesterday to asia and it was $175.

FWIW that listing has free shipping to my address.

Perhaps I’m missing something, but the listing says Free Shipping now.

Think perhaps as I'm based in the UK... showing as USD125.
Thanks, something to bear in mind.

Agreed is a beauty! No idea why it’s not been snapped up?!
As I say though, I’m not in the market and was more a query on the postage costs, which has kindly been cleared up.
Thanks though 😉
