large shipping cost

[barbara.taylor_6]

I     sold  a  collectible      to   somebody     in   Holland   on  ebay  from   Canada. It   cost  over  $100.Can         to  ship it . The   buyer    had   already   payed  for  it.  i   under  estimated  the   shipping   cost   and  already    took   a   big    loss      when    i  put it  up   for  auction  for 7  days.     I   am   taking   a  big   loss  on  the  whole  deal     can  i   recoup   any  of  my   shipping   costs.      i  could  have  made  more  money  at a garage sale,    ebay sucks

Cancel the sale, take the defect hit.  You have only got 7 feedback to lose.  You can be honest with the buyer or not.  Also don't sell international until you get a little more experience with costs.  You can take the item to the PO and they will tell you what it would cost to ship.  Also for more expensive items you need to send tracked.
