Note to Overseas Purchasers: I only transact overseas sales to countries approved by Ebay as part of their global shipping program. Our nominal shipping fee only covers the cost to ship the item priority mail and insured to the Ebay global shipping center in Kentucky. At that point, Ebay determines the appropriate shipping and duty fees (if applicable) to assure safe and legal shipment to the buyer. Ebay communicates the costs for shipment overseas to the buyer directly but NOT to the seller. Once the item has arrived safely at the Ebay global shipping center, I am in no way involved in their shipping process nor do I in any way benefit monetarily from Ebay's shipping fees. Please bear this in mind when bidding on any of my items from outside the U.S. Please do not attempt to negotiate Ebay shipping fees with me as I have no control or knowledge of them. Good luck bidding!
