I'm an ECA wanting to sell my products internationally. How do I determine how much to charge for shipping to other countries that is fair to both me and my customers?
Unless you are going to have a very complicated shipping charge list then you are going to have to work out averages for the most popular destinations. A lot will depend on the weight of the item being sent. As an example I have looked at some products being shipped from USA to UK and it made some products far too expensive to ship and keep the items at a viable price.
There are many things to consider along with the weight. Things like physical size, ease of packing and cost of packaging materials.
All these go to making some products just not worth sending to some countries, but that is something you will need to decide for yourself.
