Huge expensive shipping rates on eBay « on: August 27, 2025, 06:27:49 AM » Author: dor123
Why the shipping rates on eBay are so expensive? In the past, they were lower.
I wanted to buy a Venture HPS-DE 70W R7s HPS lamp at eBay, but look at the costs: link

I only working with the international date format (dd.mm.yyyy).

Seems normal to me - 11 pounds (ex vat) to the Netherlands. That is a completely normal amount of money for an international delivery from UK to NL.
Shipping it halfway across the world will of course be more expensive.

@dor123 Could you include a screenshot?

Unsurprisingly, there are different shipping prices depending on where the viewer is located. For me it says that it's about 36 GBP for postage and import taxes.

I think the main problem is shipping to israel...

I checked, DHL still states the have difficulties with shipping, because israel is doing the dirty work for the west and that may pose an inconvenience to them...

I'd say even without shipping, ~$35 is a bit steep for just a plain 70W HPS.
