Title: What is it with the Yanks and postage??
Post by: WINI on February 14, 2011, 08:41 AM
Maybe someone can shed some light on this?  There are a few exceptions (usually power sellers) but why do a majority of US eBay sellers refuse to post worldwide?  Is it a nationalistic thing?  Or the fact that a lot of them still think that you drop off the end of the world after NY?  I dont get it, if you pay by Paypal, how much more difficult is it to mark up as International? 

Weird   ::)

have noticed some can also be a bit obnoxious when you ask if they ship international , one word answers like "nope" just makes you think they're doing it to spite you  :LolLolLolLol:

Exactly, thought it was just me who'd got the whole attitude thing.  Mind you, the muppet at Vert-ego is even worse by all accounts on the other thread

too much exercise in filling out that extra paper work  ;D 

seems strange as it takes a couple of days to drive from state to state there - so would it not be just as much time to get it to the uk ? we pay for the shipping, so they don't loose out in any way ?

and why if the  USA and UK  are surpose to be buddys - why do we pay so much tax when we deal withn them so much

it was cheaper to get a frame from OZ then the USA  ::)
