Posting to Germany ~ eBay

    30g, Airmail small packets with a proof of posting.
  • Be careful proof of posting doesnt stop the buyer from saying they havent got the item, its happened to me with a german buyer, went through the "system" to claim a refund, this is happening more frequently with "overseas" buyers...

    On that value of item it's insanity as it costs £5+.

    The OP will be insured against loss with a proof of posting.

    There is currently a strange anomaly with small packet airmail, up to 100g it costs the same to post to Europe as it does to the UK as a 1st class package, £2.70.
