I always wait until I have a book in hand before I post pictures.

What was the book?

I guess I better fire up the scanner. I can't see it through to the end though, I never went all the way to #416 and I sold a bunch of my post-#300 issues.

I thought of that after the fact, hence the WWBN covers.

Sorry, can't answer, the thread is closed. I just checked my Order Details on some completed sales, and there's no info on those charges. But IIRC, when the buyer paid and before I generated my shipping label, that amount was listed among the payment details. It might be a case where the seller can't access the buyer's shipping charges after the sale or it might be a case where ebay changed what's visible and the buyer shipping charges are no longer visible at all. I don't do tons of volume and my last international sale was more than a month ago.

A good suggestion, but if the ebay seller generated his postage through ebay or used the Global Shipping program, (or shipped it himself at the P.O., perish forbid) the cost could be entirely different than Pirate Ship's rates. For your basic small, light package of a comic or two, ebay postage and Pirate Ship are the same. With more weight they're not. Not long ago I put together several lots for an ebay buyer and used Pirate Ship's rate calculator to determine my shipping cost. After the books were bought, I went to print the shipping label through ebay as I always do and found out postage was higher. When I went back to Pirate Ship, I got the same cheaper rate that I had looked up and bought my postage there. With the Global Shipping program, I just have to pay postage to ebay's shipping hub, so my cost is the same as sending a package to anywhere in the US. The buyer will see a different cost when they buy the item. Another advantage is that's what I pay fees on. If I sell an item for $10 + $6 postage, my FVF is based on $16 whereas if i shipped it myself and the postage overseas was actually $30, my FVF would be based on $40 which makes a big difference. Regarding UPS, they are notorious for adding in outrageous customs brokerage fees. We stopped using them for international shipments at my job many years ago, and I've seen plenty of Canadian Board members complain about the same thing.

As long as we're on the subject, here's The Man himself on an appropriately seasonal tune:

Ah! I figured we were going until the end of the Byrne run or #300. Well, I only have two more scanned and ready to go so I guess this is it. Thanks to @WernerVonDoom for starting it up, it's been a good exercise to get all these books scanned.

C'mon troops, we're slipping!

Sold! Thanks very much!

Here's one from Astonishing #6 showing Journey Into Unknown Worlds #6 (Aug 51), Space Squadron #3 (Oct 51), Adventures Into Terror #5 (Aug 51), Marvel Tales #102 (Aug 51), Suspense 310 (Sept 51) and Mystic #4 (Sept 51).

I changed my mind! Here's one more book. I can ship this one First Class for $6. Lorna the Jungle Girl #26. $25. Bill Everett cover! Last issue! And it has issues! SOLD! Manufactured with the top staple only, which has been removed, i.e. there's no staples. All the wraps and cover are there. Paper lift on the front cover, piece of another comic stuck on the back. Looks like whatever stuck the piece to the back bled through to the interior back cover.

If i ever slimmed my Power-Mans down to one, for sentimental reasons I'd pick #29, the second issue of the title I bought off the rack. The cover really grabbed me, Mr. Fish looked like a monster and I loved monsters.
