I have bought a few things for my car from Europe and definately the price of shipping gets significant anytime an item crosses international borders especially with tracking (unless its cheap fleabay stuff coming from China or Hong Kong)...

These items ship much cheaper within a country due to domestic services similar to USPS Priority Mail which makes it very affordable for the locals and tracking comes pretty much standard with these services.

So it is unfortunate but true that for international buyers the shipping with tracking will be higher. Since shipping cost does not add to the value of the item it is always prudent for a seller to keep the shipping costs lean for the buyers but it would be unfair to the seller to expect them to subsidize it.
