Things to consider beforeoffering international postage:

• Postage costs. Costs to post to other countries can vary greatly depending on the distance and posting methods. Most sellers specify that buyers pay the postage costs for international sales.

• Insurance.You should insure any packages being posted internationally. Your carrier may provide automatic coverage.

• Customs and documentation.All internationally posted packages must clear customs in the destination country. This may require you to do additional paperwork.

You can increase your chances of a sale, or sell at a higher price, by offering to post your item to international locations.
