Can somebody please explain to me why it costs more to ship a 2-oz. parcel to St. John's ($17) than it does to ship to Australia ($11)? Just curious.
Is there a place on ebay.ca where we can do that? I know there's one on ebay.com, but should I use that for an ebay.ca issue? Or somewhere else to do that (other than the once-a-week board of whatever it is)? TIA
