eBay international shipping is great for sellers but stinks for buyers.
Being based in the UK, using the eBay international shipping service is seldom cost effective. Instead, I use a mailing service in Florida. They accept my packages and the consolidate them into a single shipment to me once a month. It saves loads on international shipping charges and opens my options for the number of places that I can buy from.
As a seller in the UK, I sometimes get requests from buyers in Europe to offer an shipping option for them outside of the International Shipping service. I'm normally happy to oblige.
I think having eBay International Shipping enabled opens my listings to a wider international audience. If people then ask me for additional shipping options, I like having the option.
