Since International shipping for one CD airmail is around $4 I think that is a fair price. Of course, the padded envelope comes in addition. I don't know how much that cost in the US, though.
I have to admit that I think twice about placing bids when US sellers demands $10-12 for a CD shipped to me. There are some of them on ebay as well.
Can't complain about your shipping rates. I think they are very good and that is one of the reasons why I prefer ordering from you.

hahaha... I should do that huh?!
anyway, some dude is making me refund him some money because the sticker price didn't show the actual price he paid! I told him that the add'l $1.50 pays for the damn listing fee, end of value fee, paypal fees, etc for that particular cd associated. As what I've been tellin a lot of folks before, those are considered my definition of HANDLING. But he is not understanding what i'm saying! I always run into this problem when I sell 10-15 cds to a single buyer from foreign countries. By bidding on my auctions, that dude was agreeing to the terms and condition stated in the description. For him to ask for some refund back because the sticker price does not match what he paid is extremely ridiculous! For goodness sake, he won the damn cds for only $2 or less!!!

I've had a few people complain about shipping prices, and I don't know how they could, when I charge $1.00 to the us for tapes and $1.39 for cd's. Not to mention I include confirmation on both. But the biggest problem I got is people not paying. Seriously, if you commit to buy something that damn it pay for it. I had one guy buy a cd for $2.99 and decided it cost to much, anyways that's all I have to say.

I just got a guy return a cd to me without discussing the matter.. He sent it back and left a note stating that the cd is used and he didn't know it was used therefore I should refund him. The dumbass doesn't read or something because my damn auction clearly stated it was Used with scratches! I don't know how he assumed the CD was new to begin with!! I e-mailed this dude and he hasn't responded..
i've just auctioned off 238 cds.. so what i've been doin is gettin a receipt for every item I send off.. im gonna add up the receipts, and add up the shipping charges from the invoices, then see If i got profit or got butt fucked. I'll let ya know. Damn sho im raisin my prices if i got fucked. thats 50 or so transactions.. give ya a good average..
sayin that though, shippin is much more expensive out here...

I've done that, but the results will vary. It all depends on the rare items you also have listed in the auction that sells for A LOT. What I did was subtract the cost of the cd, est. packaging material costs, ebay listing fees, end of value fees, paypal fees if paid through paypal, and actual shipping costs. I ended up making some good profit, but then again the Rare cds sold in that auction drove my profit up..
Hey, while you are in the process of calculating your profits and enjoy doing the calculations.. then you should consider getting into Accounting! LOL!!
^^ word.. let alone parkin fees! just sent out your cds today! damn i been up to my neck in cds since i got back Friday.. shit, i had to send roughly 25 today. I was not pleased.. I walked into the post office with a big mail bag and a box under my arm.. I think one of the workers said 'shit, run!'. I aint been broken in by Ebay yet, still gettin used to this shit.. i like bein a slow paced trader.
^ yesterday only about $55.. today, yes, over $100. I aint checked half.com for time.. I know you've been sellin on there for like 4 years now right?
Where I sell, Gemm, had some stupid commission fees though.. over the 5 years I've been on Gemm, I found out that 20% of my net profit went to them!! thats big yall.. they made a lot of money from me, but in the long I used em for their credit card merchant = more trade! Still that site is cool. I'd recommend settin up a storefront there. It's just that not many people use it as Ebay... Kinda like musikstack & Netsound
