I don't know how many times I get emails asking what it would cost to ship to Brazil, Australia, Canada and so on when it states right there in my auction that I do not ship outside the United States. It's really starting to annoy me.
TodayI had a guy buy something of mine and I looked at his feedback and it was 0, well my auction also states that if you have below 10 feedback rating you need to contact me first or I will cancel your bid. So what's he do, he bids and I cancel it. Then he bids again and wins it AND has an unconfirmed address. My auction also states that you must be confirmed. I don't even want to sell the damn thing to him because he can't take time to read. Do you guys get these kinds of things? I'm just venting cause it's seriously starting to make me mad and I want to go off on one of them lol.
You should have canceled his bid a blocked him before he could bid again.
I do ship outside the U.S. so I've never come across this problem.
Selling internationally isn’t as much of a problem as it once was.
In the last few months, I’ve dealt with sellers in France, the Netherlands, Canada and Australia. The only added issue for a US seller is filling out customs paperwork and it’s not hard to do –*better still you can download the forms now from the USPS site so you can have everything done before you even get to the post office.
Getting something down to the post office and shipped out is pretty straightforward and it doesn’t take significantly more time than it does to ship to a US buyer.
If there is a caveat and it applies to Domestic and International buyer alike is figuring out shipping charges and the like for buyers who are not serious about following through on a purchase.
Oh, I didn't know you had to fill out extra forms. We just ship stuff out, but then, we pay like twice for shipping. Which makes it hard to sell a statue, cause the shipping is the same or more than the friggin statue.
Regarding handling, you laugh jwapd, but I have had a few sellers trying to charge me like 100 USD for something I had shipped a weak earlier for 40 USD. "Oh, but that is handling expenses". Yeah, up yours too, Buddy. It's fair enough people charging 10 or even 20 USD for handling, if it is something big, like a statue. I know how long it takes to pack it safely. But 60 USD is just a joke. Good thing ebay got the shipping chart now.
It's fair enough you don't want the extra work. Didn't know you need that. We have a form but it literally take 30 seconds to fill it out. So, we don't have a problem sending you guys statues.
