I get search results from E bay every day for a few items I have been looking for for years. Has anyone else noticed the MASSIVE increases in the requested postage costs. Just saw a single cassette for under $3 but the postage was £34 sterling. I recently bought a collectors item at auction on E Bay, they are now using Pitney Bowes. They call it ebay Pitney bowes Global Ecommerce / Global shipping program. The postage and potential customs charges kept rising with the bid price of the item. The final price was a $100 for the item and just under $50 for postage, packing and "potential import/export charges" on another day the same item would be a few dollars at a car boot sale. on the plus side, there are still sellers in the UK who can "POST FREE" or for less than £2.50 to Ireland. I do realise our own postal service has increased our postage charges dramatically as a percentage. But we can still post a large envelope or packet up to 500 grams to anywhere in the world for €6.50 or less if it is under 250 grams. Beware of MASSIVE POSTAL CHARGES

This rather odd item was withdrawn on E bay E bay Itemcan anyone find any connection between the item and Hayley Westenra. Or was it just good old fashioned mis-representation to sell the item ?

Ah! Somehow, the data was messed up in the eBay system. The barcode in the "item specifics" section matches that of Mario Frangoulis's "Passione" CD, which contains his and Hayley's duet of "Be My Love." Oh, what a tangled web! -Taylor

Thanks for the alert Joyce,
It did help that the seller was not looking for a small fortune for post and packing and potential customs charges in advance.
your knowledge of these items is fantastic, I started reading this thread from the start again the other night after I saw your alert, we had quite a bit of fun and laughs over the years tracking these items down, it might be fair to say that between a handful of HWI members we have enough Hayley memorabilia to start a small museum.

Ah! That is the first song I ever saw Hayley sing (in September 2004) - a memory which remains with me to this day.
