I've been selling books steadily on Ebay since early this year; making a go at being a WWI book dealer...

The first couple of times I had to ship overseas I was flabbergasted by how high the rates had jumped (and I lost money each time by honoring my quotes). Since then, I list all my overseas postage with a safe measure of "padding". Prospective buyers will usually write me and inquire if there's a cheaper way to send; to which I reply that I will only charge the "actual" rate. While it's a little bit of an inconvienence to go get the actual rate at the Post Office, it sure beats getting stuck paying for the customer's postage.
