1860s #65 3 cent 1861 issue cover from LaGrange IA to Barton NY.  Manuscript postmark and cancel; Lagrange county. (IA was typically used for Indiana at the time. There were also La Grange post offices in Iowa and PA at the time, but those are both now DPO so I am going with the lowest hanging fruit here).

EBay handles collection and remittance of taxes from an increasing number of other states.  I combine shipping on won items but please aggregate things and pay in a single payment to save multiple paypal payments.

Typically $1 domestic shipping for this item/$2 international for items under $50 or 3 combined items up to $50, with $5 for domestic shipments over $50.  Domestic items under $20 or combined under $50 domestic will now use ebay's new tracking system where possible, which unfortunately means fewer stamps on outgoing mail.  International mail requiring tracking uses ebay's international system, which costs $15 (expensive, but still the cheapest option to get tracking).
