.......... the bloke is in Germany

despite stating i would post to UK only

Any idea how much postage will be?

After reading mike`s post of how helpful the locals were to him over the weekend i kinda feel like sending it.

He obviously wants it enough

 

check it out parcel2go.com

charge him an arm and a leg for it

 

That'll cost a fair bit!

Sorry I missed your call - my phone is playing silly buggers at the moment, dropping calls off etc - I've reverted back to the old one. I'll give you a buzz around 9 ish........

 

Thx Ran will do

Rich- will be around tonight or at mArtins tomorrow afternoon

 

dangerous - reyland

I don't think it will be that much, they aren't massively heavy! I would expect £10 or under.

 

he has contacted me now & wants the price on p&p so will sort it for him

Mind you - did ask if i had the nuts to bolt it to the baulk head

 

last thing i sent to germany was an escos lower rear spoiler and that cost £31 plus the royal snail lost it for 5 weeks

abs master cyl will prob not be far off that price to send......

 

I'd go for this sort of figure also.

I sent a 15 foot snake skin which weighed about a kilo to germany late last year and it cost £15 insured.

Can't see a master cylinder weighing more than 750g

 

you ever seen a cossie abs master cyl?

 

Why is this a problem?
We buy stuff from the UK all the time.
Buyer pays for postage of course...

Or does he wants you to send it over aswell for £5?

 

I agree with Kev somewhere near the 25-30 quid mark!
Make sure it requires a signature the other end even if it costs more.

 

It's a problem because he listed that he would only post to the UK and for £5 it's a lot of messing about. Or is Germany now in the UK?

 

Nope lol

I got a picture in my head of how it 'should' look, but as you have pointed out, i must be very wrong

 

Forgot about that bit and indeed i would tell the buyer he can't have it as well for that money!
For future reference you can block bidders 'from countries you don't post to' for all items you have listed! just click the link below

i sold a cossie master cylinder on ebay i had to send it to hong kong yes really hong kong i got abit more than a fiver that cost £75 to send there

 

spadge has beat me to it but just block outside the uk bidders thats what i do

 

It wasn't me who bought the item...

 

I`ll sort it for him

but as Martin said Its a lot of messing about for a fiver

Not even the price of 20 silk cut

 

You have to give us a break.
We can't get many parts over here in the mainland so our resource is YOU guyz.

 

seems daft to resrict your market by not posting abroad to me, especially as certain parts are rarer in other countries so could fetch a higher price.

what's the difference to you as a seller? you can quote a shipping rate in uk, and one within europe, rest of the world etc. you still package it up just the same, take it to the post office / courier company / have it collected just the same. just because you're too lazy to find out the costs beforehand? wtf? you either want to sell it or you don't, and with overseas shipping that costs more in the first place, it's very easy to add a few quid in there for the 'extra hassle'

 

wtf are you having a pop for? he said he did not want to send it outside the uk, it's his Prerogative after all. Personally i would NOT send it for £5!!
Get off your soap box and read the small print

 

he's not expecting to only pay a fiver - you read the small print

i'm not having a pop at dangerous at all, just in general at the attitude of some ebayers on here.

dangerous is doing a good thing by helping him out by getting a price and sending it anyway

 

But why limit your sending things to just the UK in the first place???

Are we not entitled to being able to purchase some parts that we "for love of god" can not find on the mainland?

I personally purchase about everything for my Cos in the UK.

 

fair play to dangerous for sending it anyway but e bay is full of scammers and other dodgy types right now,so it pays to be careful. So if he lists 'will not send outside uk' what exactly do YOU think that means?

 

Although i posted the link to the block on Ebay i now allow people from all over the world to bid on my stuff! Its up to the seller as to who he sells to and if someone is only selling a few bits and bobs and they don't have a Paypal account or don't want one then it can get a bit complicated selling to overseas buyers especialy for a five pound item.

 

If i were selling i would have expected to have got an email asking if it would be ok to bid as the listing says only UK. I have had the same thing with a guy in Oz, he reckoned he did not get the 3dr arch i sent him and gave me endless grief even though i had proof of sending. It's not always the people... it's the chance it might get lost on the way... it's the sellers choice, end of!

 

Have to agree with you there Martin.
I ALWAYS ask if they are willing to sent it to Belgium and what cost would be.
Can't be fairer then that.

 

the reason i dont sell to people abroad is the fact ive done it twice once to germany and once to poland both times parcel went missing and royal mail made me send the reciept to them on both occasions and never heard a thing after that so i personally choose not to anymore if anyone has a problem with that tuff shit really

 

What he said..

I always ask if people are willing to send to Denmark although it isn't stated.

 

martin-reyland you have e-mail about postage to me

 

i have your money .... now get lost !

 

You only have some, you can have MUCH MUCH more

 

The story continues...

As said i decided to help the guy out so we to post office, had parcel weighed & priced for postage.
Result was £37 postage & gave me a shipping form to fill in when sending it.

I got back to the bloke - Told him all in P&P would be £45 As i`m still running backwards & forwards for this.

He emails back saying its more than he thought & can i give him exact weight so he can price up p&p himself.

I politley replied telling him that "with the greatest of respect" i dont have time to run around for him to make £5 (which is cheap for the item anyway)

A few days go by so i ask what his thoughts are

The reply i recevied : Hi, well I dont appreciate the high shipping costs. I could ship half an engine to England for that price. I understand you don’t want to run around for 5 pounds, but well thats how things are on ebay. I have sold many items myself for 1 euro cause of only one bidder... So if you don’t like it you should have set a higher starting bid.

But looks like there is nothing I can do, although I am sure there is a cheaper way of shipping this puppy. I will pay your invoice within the next 48 hours with paypal.

Think i`ll tell him to FUCK OFF

Am i right to do so ???

He has private feedback so impossible to see what other have said about him.

I f he gives me negative will eBay delete it as he should not have bid anyway??

 

Have I missed something?

 

Your listing quite clearly stated UK ONLY so you are perfectly within your rights to refuse his bid.

 

with that reply

i want to tell him where to go

just want to make sure i dont get negative to spiol my 100% pos feedback

 

Agree entirely and I would be the same but the bellend evidently can't read and is a pisstasker. What did he expect the postage to be a first class stamp ? I'd like to see him get half an engine sent over for £35...........

 

Just waiting for comment from eBay now

 

Hopefully common sense will previal and they'll remove any shit feedback that gets left.

 

Relpy sent

Please remember that I did state in my auction that I would ship to

Response

> Come on, stay calm. I won the auction and I will pay your invoice. I need the brake cylinder to get our cossie running.
