eBay seller rant #864
I'm still trying to figure this one out. I won the auction for 4 saff wheel center caps. A whopping £4. Shipping is another £7.89. But the buyer says he won't post to Canada.
I've got verified paypal status. %100 feedback from 8 million years ago. I'm willing to pay the post. All he has to do at the royal mail counter is fill out a line item on an export form that says what is in the packet and the value.
Americans used to do this and I find it a disturbing new trend trying to get stuff out of the UK. Why the resistance to write down "car parts" and "£4" on a form?
Or is this a case of seller pull out wanting to sell the item for more elsewhere? Even with larger items that cost substantially more I've run into this. Then other sellers are totally fine with export.
What am I missing about someone who only wants to sell to the UK? You are limiting the market and the price at which you can sell your item. Enlighten me please.

The only problem that I can see is that if the parts going missing, the seller is 100% going to lose out. International items can't be tracked online to their destination ... only "This item has been passed to an overseas postal service for delivery"
No online tracking = failure to comply with Paypal terms and conditions and any complaint from a buyer being successful.
Personally I dont really have any problem with sending most items overseas but I wouldn't risk it with an expensive item.

Did you ask before the auction ended if he would post overseas? Cos if he didn't state on the auction that he would then its up to him what he does. I have people asking me to send abroad all the time, even though it clearly says I won't on the auction. The fact is its more hassle, he has to go find out the postage cost or mess about weighing it etc. Then if it goes missing its way more hassle to sort, and you will be wanting your money back. Looki at it from the other point of view, you didn't bother to find out if he would send to Canade before auction end and now just expect him to sort if for you, for £4! You are the joker imho.
