I've got a question about eBay procedures...

I just had someone overseas (UK) win an auction or mine for some books. Do I have to follow any special routines with shipping a box of books to the UK via USPS? Other than outrageous shipping charges? I sent the person an invoice with the altered shipping fees, but I don't know if I'm required to do anything else.

Nope. That's it. make sure it's clear that no insurance, and your responsibility ends the moment you hand it over the counter. Also that any potential taxes and duties are his issue.
If they baulk at the shipping, see if surface is OK for them. Takes a while though.

It seems many of you in the US have issues with USPS, but I've had hundreds of items shipped air and sea via them with zero issies and they're usually faster than Fedex / UPS often by as much as a week.

Thanks for the reply. So for now, I just sent the invoice, and I'll contact the winner tomorrow when I wake up just to make sure everything is OK. If they pay before then, I'll just take the stuff to USPS and off it goes.
