To be honest, I couldn't remember bidding £30 but I guess I must have! Anyway, by then I thought I'd lost out, and had spent 3125 on the Sunny Stories Calendar and £50 on an Enid Blyton Diary - so I felt I didn't want to pay £30 for a book someone else had rejected!
The overseas postage is sadly why I don't offer sales to anyone overseas. I know you can opt out of eBays exorbitant Global Shipping plan but even so, postage is pretty high for overseas postage - even for Ireland etc. eBay won't let me charge my 'flat-rate' postage of £2.80 for up to three books if I'm attempting to send books to anywhere outside of the mainland - even the Isle of Mann or Wight.

Not even if you make the invoice yourself and put in your own price? That seems a bit unfair, after all it's up to you if you want to charge the price your asking or not!

According to eBay the price of £2.80 postage doesn't cover anywhere outside the mainland.
