The number of (different) stories and number of (different) comic pages one can get from reprints in each country. Data from the Inducks database (coa.inducks.org), 2013-08-02.
The number of pages is counted in 4-tier equivalent format (total rounded) so a 3-tier page is counted as 0.75 pages of comics. Dailies and Sundays are counted as 0.5 and 1 page respectively.

Ooh, very interesting, Cacou, thanks. All I have to say is: Norway, get yourself an eBay, dammit! (No point in asking Italy to lower its overseas postage.)
I wonder whether the Swedish auction site owned by eBay is integrated into eBay enough that one can use the same username and password, and get stuff on one's eBay watchlist? Probably not. But perhaps i should register on it with my eBay username/password and see what happens?

There is an ebay.se that you can log into with your eBay account

Nope, it is not integrated that well. eBay tried to establish a Swedish eBay site a few years ago, but Tradera was already so established that they never succeed. As I have understood it, eBay thus bought Tradera to own the main web auction site here, but let them continue running it as before. Why mess with a concept that works well...? It may be difficult to navigate the site without knowing Swedish, but practically anyone in Sweden knows English fairly well. That doesn't necessarily mean that everyone ships internationally, so write and ask before bidding and make sure you can pay in an OK manner ?? not everyone accepts Paypal, MOs are practically useless here etc. Or buy from dealers or buy/trade with other collectors. I for one still have gaps in my US collection of issues from the 30s-60s and gladly trade Swedish stuff for stuff I'm missing, and I'm sure there are many others like me.
Regarding the site www.ebay.se: Practically noone in Sweden posts auctions there and I didn't even know it still existed. Even the sign in page is located at ebay.co.uk and if you scroll down the auction lists and notice where the sellers are located, they're all auctions from international eBay sites.
One should also think about differences between editions and countries: many many 4-tier stories published in Italy were reformatted to their general 3-tier format, so when buying Italian books (and from other countries too, of course), always check the format of the specific book or series. The Scandinavian titles have been coproduced in one way or the other since they started in the late 1940s, so the content is very similar in all countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, to a certain degree Germany). There are differences over the years, of course, but most issues have an equivalence in the other countries.

Hello, my name is Luca and I live in Italy. I have always been a big fan of Disney Comics too.
If you are interested in Italian Disney Comics (Topolino or other), I could buy them for you and send you them too. I can buy new Disney comics or old Disney comics (in this case I could buy them in some flea markets here in Italy).
I would ask only a little fee for the service (according to how many comic books I'll have to search and send).
Ciao,
Luca

A suggestion when buying from Italy: try to ask the eBay sellers the rates for sending with couriers(ie: TNT, DHL, UPS, etc) instead of using the national postal system.
It might be cheaper(and most likely faster)
