Answer 1

sure folks mail my ebay stuff to me using first class postage

Answer 2

HI Nathan,

Yes... that is how it works.  Once the buyer has provided payment, either by PayPal or by Money Order... including shipping charges,  you can mail their winning item to them.    Now you know that postal charges from your location to the US are going to be quite  bit more, so my suggestion is that if you have the item...  put it in a box and take it to your shipper / postal service or whatever.  Just so that you are in the ball park with shipping and not have to be stuck with charges yourself... you should use a US zip from the most distant of locations... say to Seattle or Maine...  Then in the description of your item you can list that amount coming from Bahamas.  That way the buyer will get a good idea of what it is going to cost him.  If it is less than that actual amount when you ship the item,  you can always refund the buyer with a check inside the package.

Thanks for reading.
