@jluinge Ebay just introduced a new shipping option worldwide that I think is collaboration with DHL. It is about $55-60 for a model on the seller's side, however they allow the seller to charge the regular shipping price of about $80, and the seller can keep the difference. Then the taxes ... all my customers oversees (I've sold no more than 10-12 models internationally), particularly in the EU are getting taxed. For many years I have not paid a penny in taxes when I receive models to the US from international sellers, nowadays there is some tax at checkout, perhaps the state tax that for MI is 6%. Bottom line, you can potentially find a seller who can make adjustments and ship cheaper but I realize that would be hard. Many US small sellers simply avoid shipping internationally due to complexity and experienced fraud.
