How do you handle overseas shipping of non-module items? Priority is VERY expensive for a box of figurines. I am debating making the auctions US-only.

Shipping is expensive, and there is no way around it.  First, I recommend you charge what you need to and let the buyers decide for themselves if they want to pay the cost.  Some buyers will ask if they can pay the US shipping rate and have you ship it to a US address.  I recommend against that as it voids your seller protection.  You must ship to the address of the payee to keep your seller protection.  

Second, when you are figuring out what to charge for shipping, make sure you are weighing your product and the box/envelope you'll ship it in.  You can ship those boxes of minis in a bubble envelope, but the box will likely be damaged/crushed and then you have an unhappy buyer wanting a refund of some kind.  The kind of international buyers you want will know about and pay the higher cost.  

Finally, there are some countries you don't want to ship/sell to.  For example, consider excluding: Africa, Russian Federation, Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Serbia, and Slovakia.  

Or, you could do US only.

As one of the very few (only?) African residents of these boards, I'd like to emphasize that Africa is not a country, but a continent containing more than fifty separate countries. Many African countries have perfectly functional and reliable postal systems. Please consider not excluding our whole continent from auctions by default!
