Good morning everyone. lately I’ve found myself buying retrocomputer and retro console items from the United States and Japan. I’m asking whether it’s normal for U.S. users to apply shipping rates that are frankly ridiculously inflated. Quite a few Japanese users ship “for free,” while Americans sell items at very low prices and then charge 4 times as much for shipping. example : https://ebay.us/m/D9IgK1monitor for sale at $84 and shipping costs $260. at this point it naturally makes me ask:doesn’t ebay have regulations on shipping costs? Aren’t there any checks of any kind?it can’t be that from Japan they ship for free while from the States they go completely overboard.I’m asking those who know more than I do.thanks
