  1. out of curiosity, do the new shipping requirements (under $4) apply if the winning bidder is overseas? cause if i was selling a record and it went for like $8 +$4 shipping, and it cost $14 to ship, i'd be pissed.

    From ebay's shipping center:

    "These maximums apply to the first flat-rate shipping service within or into the U.S. Sellers are required to offer at least one shipping option within the maximum and may also offer other options above the maximums for expedited or international shipping."

    The kicker is "within or into the US".

  2. do you guys think i should put them in my checked baggage or in my carry-on?

    if i were to put them into my checked baggage i'd fit them all into lp mailers and put them on some clothes or something.

    I would carry them on if at all possible. But, depending on the total number, and plane size, you may have to check them. LP mailers in the center of your suitcase, completely surrounded by clothes or bubble wrap is about as safe as you could easily get.

    Keep in mind, in the baggage control operations of some major airports, bags drop 5+ ft from belt to belt, others have spring mounted arms that slam into bags, redirecting them onto different belts. The only way to guarantee safety is to keep them in your arms.

  3. Also, look into the type of plane you're flying on. If you're flying a mainline jet (737, MD-80, DC-9), you'll have a bigger overhead compartment to stash the package in. But if any of your legs are on a smaller, regional jet (ERJ, Canadair) you'll have to gate-check the package.
