If you set it to calculated, and then turn on International Shipping they will handle it all. You just print off their label to send to the domestic sort center, and drop it off. The seller pays the difference to eBay and you're taken out of the equation entirely.
Well that's foolish. At least it's a simple solution then. Cancel the bid, message the bidder, and edit the info.
Barely inconveniences the bidder, and you have it available for more folks to bid on (since not everyone who will see it on ebay will see this thread, etc).

Went ahead and created a Pirateship account. Holy cow what a price savings. Here is to the UK or the Netherlands via UPS vs the $250 I was quoted at the store… Japan just a few dollars more. Australia around $70usd w/tracking and $100 insurance via UPS versus the $250 I was quoted at the store.
Didn’t see an option to increase insurance but am sure it’s there for an additional cost

Glws, it’s at $740 with 4 bids on it….. nuts 
Oh. You can't go to a UPS store for a quote, you need to use their website and print it off at home.
UPS Stores are allowed to upcharge rates, and since they're all individually owned and operated or franchised or however it is, you can get WILDLY different quotes from stores 2 miles apart.

Worth noting that you also can't edit listings in the last 24 hours before they end... so most likely that's why you couldn't update the shipping options. Would also agree that using eBay Int'l Shipping is the easiest option for int'l buyers, just make sure you input the correct dimensions and weight of the package.
Looks like it sold for over 700, so much for the price being too high. Congrats!

Click "Extra Services" at the bottom of the page for the label you are creating. Glad you found it to work well!

It should be 13.25% + $0.30.
$770 Closing Price
$30 Shipping
$800 Total
800 * 13.25% + $0.30 = $106.30 in Ebay Fees
$693.70 collected
EDIT: Jinx!
I forgot to add the shipping back in when I did the subtraction of fees, lol.EDIT: Jinx!

There may also be tax I’ll have to account for at the end of the year.
Sure will be.

I guess we should start taking all of these things into account when making offers or setting prices.
"Well, I'll have to eat 25% income tax on this, so how about..."

It's certainly affected how a whole slew of people choose to deal with payment methods.
