Yep.  Things like this:

I'm sure you're watching it already.  But US only.  The line about contacting him if in Canada about shipping, etc - not so useful when he has messaging turned off so you can't message him (maybe only allows messages from US as well)

absolutely. while some are cool and accept either a proxy recipient in the u.s.a. or international shipping, the vast majority seems to consider such inquiries a threat of sorts (oh mah gawd—people outside the states use ebay or even the internet? perish the thought!) … whaddayaknow.

another problem is that international shipping is usually overpriced (there seems to be this flat rate for $ 14, hardly anybody offers first class shipping for $ 4 anymore).

besides, even if messaging is seemingly turned off, you can always contact the other ebay user directly. worked for me every time so far.

Dunno what prices you can get, but the only place I can send low First Class shipping to internationally is Canada, and that is $4.81 for a package of 16oz. Other countries are about $8-11 at that weight. How many RPG books weigh a pound or less, let alone the weight of the envelope/box and packing material? A number of modules likely could, but hardbacks are right out.

Since First Class varies so widely depending on the exact number of ounces (which makes estimating prices a royal PIA), and not having such an exacting scale to use, I find myself using Flat-Rate priority envelopes most of the time, which is $11.95 to Canada or $13.95 elsewhere, and most often beats out First Class on all but the very lightest items.

4 tri-tac books. I have no idea if these have any collectable value but the min bid is only $10

I don't think this is an RPG. It looks more like a comic fanzine.

Have done zero research, but I'd strongly guess art portfolio.

Collectable?  Sure if you like to collect bacteria.  God knows how many times someone wiped with these.

Big lot of 4e books worth every penny of the min bid

4e is a strange one for selling.  I have had no problem selling the hardcover versions of the core books but everything else is really tough to move - even current stuff at 50% off retail.  I think WotC really confused customers with their whole Essentials line.
