Actually, other european countries are often the ones who charge higher postage than is permitted on EBAY,
specifying higher charges than their listings actually display when you scroll further down their listings, usually around the 10 euro mark.

All countries are guilty of charging high postage, although there will always be instance of the costs being unavoidable. Anyone expecting to receive a steelbook with 99p p&p shouldn't be surprised to receive a damaged, badly packaged one.............

Why, what is permitted by eBay?

I don't go by eBay. I never knew there were limitations to what I'm supposed to charge on postage.

I go by my own Irish postal services charges displayed on their website. Which means I can't send a regular bare bones steelbook internationally for under €11 (with tracking) . And that's before ebay and Paypal take 14.4% of that, so that has to be added on too.

How can ebay tell you what to charge for shipping when every country has different rates?

For reasons unknown to myself, european sellers outside the UK often specify higher postage when you scroll down to the additional info provided, as opposed to the postage specified at the top of the listing. I have questioned this with european sellers in the past, who have said they have had to specify postage in this way as ebay will not permit them to charge a higher amount, which would imply ebay impose restrictions.

Same thing happens to me when buying from UK ebay. Postage says £9.30. When I click on the ad postage changes to £15.40 or something like that. Sometimes it's even higher. It's not just EU ebays, it's all ebays.

And a real bummer for people who need to charge higher postage due to weight, size, etc as ebay clearly don't take these sort of factors into consideration and probably couldn't care less if sellers end up out of pocket.............

 

[BluSteel2012]

I know ebay has a 'Global Shipping ' program where they set the costs. But it's only for select countries. For example, we don't have that option in Ireland.

If everyone starts charging 99p for postage then I am sure the world will be a better place lol.

That happens once every 100 years.

You're really fixated on this 99p postage, huh?

There was a lol at the end. Search for Moana Steelbook in eBay US, select country as UK or Ireland and have a look at the postage.

@chunk you where 100% correct did deserve a gloss finish

i finally had a go at glossing a steelbook now its not perfect as is my first go but i learnt quite a bit by having a go.
one major trick is once sprayed on cardboard in the garden bring in, in another box to let dry in the spare room unforunately i just sat with it while each coat went off for 15 mins. i did 2 coats for this steel but then left in the garden for a while that was my slight mistake as have got a odd bit of muck and in the gloss like few bits that are so tiny you have to be looking very close apart from that well happy and will now have to be going thru rest of my collection and do some more.
and if nothing else i prob own the only gloss version of this atm

i suggest you give it a go, don't think you will be disappointed with result.
anyway photos below taken with my phone so not brillant but good enough.
