Default Just a vent

What the heck is wrong with most US sellers on eBay?? Canadian item listed but can not bid as dont ship outside the USA. Cannott contac seller as doesnt accept messages??

Realyy WTF is wrong with these people. A very nice Bricks Bar to a Dieppe KIA was up and ultimatly sole for 110.00 as it was misdescribed.

Can someone offer any ideas on how the heck to get around this situation? I donot know anyone in the USA. so that was not an option, nor is the option there for a USA PO box as most sellers wontt ship to a PO box.

I am sick and tired of being excluded from bidding on items like this.

Does not make sense to limit their sales base. When I sell its to anywhere in the world, have not had any problems yet. Cheers Brian

Is it so difficult to cost an item to post and fill in a Customs Declaration? when it could possibly increase their final price, after all its the buyer who is paying the extra postage...

Did you use the ask a question?

I disagree with the PO Box as that is all I have for an address and I have no problem with it.

Do you have the e bay link

I sell world wide too and the only problem I get is from buyers who dont like to pay to have their items registered/tracked at their expense. I usually agree with them as Aussie Post charge a stupid amount for a small item to be tracked.

It's something I have come across before as well. A couple of times the response I have got was that it was a hassle to ship overseas for them!

Rather slack if you ask me!

It is the same all over. There are several members of this form who sell on ebay and will not ship to other countries.

Yes it is fustrating. And some will not answer and some will give a nothing answer.
