Dear XXX (hidden):

Thanks for your mail, I understand that you not know well the chinese international  shippping fees , this shipping fees are calculated by the China EMS shipping rate, the first 500 G are $35 , and and each addition  are $10 , and for those bags are about 2 KG, the the shipping fees will be the $35+$10X3=$65, and the paypal and the chinese bank fees need charge 10% , so the eBay allow the shipping not above $65X1.1 =$71.5 on the 2 KG things form China, if not exceed $71.5, this will be reasonable.

As you said, as the saller , we don't want against the rules, if that i will be kicked off eBay,all my list are be calculated the right shipping fees and not against the eBay's rules,I am trying to let me item more cheap, this will be make the misunderstand on those item, someones not konw what things that you will get ,they don't those bags are 2Kg or the 100 G .

The official website of the EMS  (China's cheapest shipping way for 2 KG things)
http：//www。ems.com.cn/serviceguide/e-zi-fei-biao-zhun.html  7.5CNY(RMB) =1 USD （Guides can only contain links to eBay pages. so the links have some other character,please change the it you self）

And you can try to calculated the ups shipping fees from China to USA, this will be the $70 US Dollars

    I UNDERSTAND CHINESE BAG IS NOT CHEAP BUT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GET MONEY FOR SHIPPING AND KEEP IT.  EBAY RULES SAY YOU CAN CHARGE ABOUT 1 OR 2 DOLLARS FOR SHIPPING EXPENSES PLUS WHAT THE ACTUAL SHIPPING COST.  THE PRICE FOR THE BAGS IS SUPPOSED TO COVER THE COST OF THE BAG BUT YOU ARE KEEPING SHIPPING MONEY TO COVER THE COST OF YOUR BAGS.  THIS IS AGAINST THE RULES AND YOU CAN BE KICKED OFF EBAY IF SOMEONE REPORTS YOU.
