Yeah, International rates have killed me. Used to be a good portion of my sales and bids. Now it's just a trickle.
Meanwhile, Chinese vendors ship to the U.S., practically for free.
I've lost track of the number of times my wife has ordered some cheap widget or part off Ebay for just a few bucks, it takes forever to get here, my wife complains to me about Ebay being slow, I ask if she bought the part from a Chinese vendor, she swears she didn't, and then when the package shows up it's got Chinese tags all over it.
Meanwhile, I know she spent less on that entire package WITH shipping, then it would cost me to just ship that same package to the U.K.,......or back to China.
