Posting a video game to the US?

I've been selling games on eBay and I forgot that I had allowed people in the US to purchase the games. It had been all Irish people up until yesterday, when someone in the US bought a game. How do I go about posting it? Is it the same?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. Posting something to the US is the exact same as posting it to Ireland except it costs more. Just like with Ireland, it depends on the size of the package, its weight. and whether you use standard post or registered post. The price list is on the AnPost website. You will need to stick a customs label on it which they will give you in the post office.

Just be aware that buyer might not know but I THINK depending on the console games might not be compatible with US consoles.

It should cost you 3.60 normal post. They never come in under 100 grams which would be 1.95, although a recent copy of Destiny Xbox One I sent to the UK came in at 95 grams. I guess the boxes are lighter.

I believe PS3/PS4 games are region free but Xbox isn't.
