Can someone help me please, I just started an ebay business and I am not understanding the shipping & handling

Question

for example, I have listed a round hat box that weighs 3 to 4 lbs. I rcvd an email asking how much would the shipping be to the UK. I called the UPS store down the street and they said the chg would be $175. and through regular mail it would be $75.00, wow that is ridiculous. What am I doing wrong? Can someone tell me how much the chgs for this example should be..... BTW: I live in Florida. Thanks!

Answer 1

its because your doing international shipping.... if you was shipping it to another state in the us it wouldnt be anywhere near that much.... maby even if u was shipping to mexico or canada... idk... but u should always list that u cant ship internationally expecially if ur giving free shipping.... have a nice day!
