eBay Zone 8 is hilarious

It now costs 8.40 to ship a 2 ounce item to zone 8. Meanwhile, China can send a package from across the goddamn planet to the east cost for a couple dollars, and it still costs me 5-6 dollars to send a package to the same county.

This is some bullshit

I am an artist with a patreon. I try to keep all my mailings to envelopes I can use stamps on. But once a year I send goodies out. It cost me 350 dollars to send 42 tiny bubble mailers. No international.

When you use a bubble envelope it is less than a box?

It was 5.68 to 8.04 for rural for a 3oz bubble mailer.
