I thought this was the best place to post this. I want buy something from the US and I think it's actually cheaper for me if someone buys it in dollars then posts it to me. Is anyone interesting in helping?

What are you looking to buy? Hard to imagine a lot of things that are cheaper transshipped like that.

In the UK the total for actual CD and shipping is like £13.50 which is about $17 I think but not sure. In dollars the CD is $9.99 which is like £8ish. But I don't know how much it would cost to post to you and to ship to me.

Looks like if you bought it yourself, it'd cost £13.98, or roughly $22.50 USD.
For an American buyer, it'd cost $15.21, and probably $4.56 to ship it to the UK, but that's an estimate as I do not know the actual weight of the item. That would cost $19.77, not counting any fees if you wanted to pay the buyer using Paypal or such. You're not really saving much IMO.
