Sorry I should have specified USPS priority. I use the ebay shipping calculator plus I have a higher handling fee on international shipments. I wish I could just sell inside the US but people ride bikes everywhere.

I usually just tell potential international bidders what priority mail will cost them. Only once did the person then bid.
I guess if you sell enough internationally on ebay, you can go ahead and "self insure", figuring 5% to 10% of the time, you will be SOL.
Go to the ebay forums and search for shipping to Italy. You will find countless postings on problems with shipments to Italy. The choice is yours.
