Tried this on the auction site, got shafted on shipping ended up paying for disposal

Wow that's terrible! What were they charging you? That's one of the reasons why I recommend Mercari in that article above, the sellers pay for shipping on Mercari! You just pay the Buyee fee and international shipping.

I have a PSP-2000 sitting in the Mercari 'warehouse' right now, the cheapest international shipping for it is 1,050 YEN, the most expensive is 3,150 YEN. That's from Japan to Australia, just for a comparison to what I see!

I had a five euro junk NAS look to cost 86 euro to ship to Ireland.

It was the international shipping that made it unreasonable.

I am also not uaed to their site layout so I may have been doing the wrong thing
