There's a problem with selling coins and books to the UK because both are given preferential treatment by our Customs & Excise in term of import duty and sales tax (VAT)
I was curious about the shipping fees on a coin. OK it wasn't cheap, but the import costs were $150. Sending it without using GSP would have been $50 for the buyer. Assuming it even got picked up at Customs and there was any charge at all. That's $100 to Pitney Bowes for .. what?
Like Solidifier, I very much doubt I would buy an item under GSP. If I really wanted it I'd contact the seller and ask them to relist or somehow make other arrangements
