I found a MIB SDCC 2011 pony on eBay that I would love to buy so I contacted the seller asking about postage. They changed the option to allow me to purchase it with First Class International shipping but it still says over $24 to post. I have recently bought another MIB Comic con pony and got it posted for just over $10, so this seems far too high. I also checked USPS using weight and dimensions and it says it should be around that to post. Is it because eBay is messing up? Or are they using a flatrate box? I don't know how eBay calculates postage quotes at all. I also thought I could BIN and request a total but nope can't do that.
I've already explained this politely to the seller and asked if they can help but they haven't responded, their messages have been at strange hours considering the time zone differences.
I feel like I should just nab it while I can but I know that if it comes and the postage was way less there's nothing I can do. Any advice? I know should just be patient and wait for the seller to respond but according to my timezone clock they replied at 2am so I have no idea when or if they will get back to me... and it could be gone by the time they respond again.
Is there anything I can do or should I just forget about it? I
really want it
Thanks
