Genuine question to American ebayers- I have recently dipped my toe into selling on ebay and have advertised that i will post worldwide. I have only sold 3 items so far but bidding is going well, but I am now worrying about my postage position.

I have been surprised at the post office when i asked the cost of an item i was posting to Spain, by asking what it would cost to send the same item to U.S. Just to give me a rough idea.

Airmail is astronomical to U.S but surface mail is reasonable. It's too late for me to revise my items listing because i have bids on them and Americans are amongst those bidding. To be honest i am dreading one of them winning! I haven't stipulated how i would post items to U.S.

I know now i should have put in the postage bit that i will only send items by surface mail, i know now it takes 8-10 weeks to deliver, do American ebayers usually accept that postage to them is by surface mail? Or will they expect airmail? I will revise future listings but don't want to upset anyone so early in the game? Any thoughts out there?
