selling on that site...New Question

[trapperDave]

I placed a cougar on there today, but when I do a search on pearson bows, it doesnt come up.?? I can enter the exact title I used and it doent show, but I can watch it in "my epay". Is this normal? I haver never sold anything on there before.

I am by no means an e*** expert, but I have sold a few things.  I seem to remember it took a while (I don't know how long for sure).  I checked right after and again the next day and it had showed up.  It didn't happen right away.

I have been asked by a gentleman in Germany if I would ship there. I have no problem with it, but dont know how I would go about charging for the shipping??? The add I just stated a flat 20 bucks. I havent answered his question yet, figured I would check into it first.

[portugeejn]

I'd do some research before you said yes, because my guess it it will costs 4 or 5 times $20 to ship it to Germany.  Plus I would make sure the buyer was aware any duty would need to be paid by purchaser.  I just spent 10 minutes online trying to come up with a cost from UPS, and all I could get was that I would need to call them.

I am sure there are others who know more about international shipping than I, and perhaps they will have better info.  But to me it sounds expensive.

Dave,
did you said "flat rate for worlwide" in your auctions description? If so you may need to change it and otherwise it would be easy to tell him that he has to pay actual shipping if he wants to have it send to GER.
The last bow I received was 32 dollars. It was a 60" recurve.

I set it at a flat rate..in the US. I have had a couple people from Germany ask about it, told them no on this one till I know what I'm doin  :D  I didnt know if there was any special "hoops" to go thru or anything

[d. ward]

Wow 20.00 flat rate world wide shipping is danger danger...I had to ship one to Italy a couple years ago..Big bucks for shipping and insurence....I only use the USPS which seems far less hassle and cheeper then anyone else.And the Postal ships world wide as well..........bowdoc

[trapperDave]

My add states 20 bucks priority shipping to the USA. Anything special or out of the ordinary when shipping overseas? Or is it just a bigger shipping fee?

[PAPALAPIN]

That's why you see some auctions that state "No International Shipments!  Continental US or Canada only".  They don't want to hassel with all the red tape and higher cost for Overseas shipping.
