    1. Did you look beyond the $44 to see the $22 shipping option?
    2. PayPal Seller Protection requires the sender to use a service the can provider verified delivery.
    3. It is currently ambiguous as to whether USPS Priority is an acceptable means as opposed to USPS Express in the eyes of PayPal.

    Therefore, when you see shipping rates of under $20, the seller has exposed himself to the risk of a PayPal chargeback to the "scum that lives outside their borders."

    But you already knew all of this before shoveling around your dirt, didn't you?

    People should refrain from using (or alluding through sarcasm) stereotypes, especially on demographics that include people who read or participate here. It can be deemed offensive.
    It would be the same if you had someone from India came on here and claimed that we were all hostile towards Indians (following the recent violence against them in Melbourne) - you would take offence at the generalisation.
    I know a lot of nice Americans, as well as arrogant ones - but if a generalisation has the chance of being interpretted as a criticism of the entire demographic it is best to avoid using them in public situations here. Leave it for comedians and media criticts.

    Just some info for anyone interested. We have been talking about a small missile that would fit in a standard envelope.

    From the USPS site:
    Express Mail International® Flat Rate Envelope - $26.95 for Canada and Mexico, $28.95 for all other countries

    One price regardless of weight
    Size: 12-1/2" x 9-1/2"


    Or if you look by weight for pacakges:
    Weight Not Over (lbs) 0.5: $28.95 to Australia.
    Individual dimensions may not exceed 36 inches in length, 79 inches in length plus girth combined

    So $44 is still more then what the actual postage is.
    Quite frankly though they should use USPS Priority, I'm certain it is an acceptable form of transport in Paypals eyes as it has tracking.
    There's no difference between Priority and Express apart from the time it takes to arrive and that Priority has free basic insurance.
