baz from australia here...

thought let you guys know whats going on in this bs world we live in...

what i got from ebay today...


***Australia Post surcharge for packages to the United States***

24 November 2010 | 11:04AM EST

Due to additional security measures, Australia Post have advised that articles over 453g and all Express Courier International and Express Post International services will be subject to an additional $9 security surcharge and may face transit delays of up to 48 hours.

International post regulations for each country can be found on Australia Post's website here and any enquiries regarding the surcharge should be directed to Australia Post.

eBay is currently waiting for further news regarding the surcharge, however sellers are recommended to avoid using calculated shipping on items that ship to the US as the shipping calculator is not currently configured to include the surcharge.
Regards,
The eBay Team



makes me wonder what the fucks the world comming to ?

do you guys in the usa also get hit with a surcharge if posting international ? or accepting orders internationally ?

hmmmm , steph so it sounds like it just usa messing around.

if i was to send a package to canada i dont think this $9 surcharge counts , im not 100% sure.

wish someone from usa would inform us if they are getting hit with fees for sending or recieving international parcels lol
 
Doesn't sound like it's the US messing around at all. If you read about the new rules on ebay, it's Australia Post adding the fee to cover customs scans etc not the US. Maybe it's a us company being told to collect the fee but it's not their fee. So technically it's a BS Australia fee :)
 
Blame Yemen. If people weren't trying to mail bombs to the US, you most likely wouldn't have to deal with this...
