Ordering anything from the states through eBay’s international shipping program is anywhere between $40-70, even for the smallest items. The price hikes over the past year have been bonkers. I know the sellers “love” offering this as the only shipping option (USPS is a quarter of the cost) but 95% of them don’t know how expensive it is for international buyers. Every time I bring it up, they seem so surprised at how expensive it is. Could explain why your international sales tanked, has very little to do with the economy and more so with the insane shipping rate. If you don’t believe me, set your country and zip code to Canada and see for yourself.

Edit: EIS was not always this expensive. I remember when it was still affordable to use.. but about a year ago, they hiked up the pricing almost threefold. So while I understand the hassle-free returns process for the sellers, it’s not working for most international buyers anymore. No matter how much I want something, I’m not paying $50 CAD shipping for an 8 oz. item.
