This topic is dedicated for sellers from US. This is the second time I am raising the issue of international shipping. I have noticed that the sellers from US, particularly trading the IT equipment are more comfortable to ship to US rather than worldwide. Even if the last bidding price for the good is cheaper than average. I would like also note that I personally was contacting the seller asking to give me a chance to bid, but most of the time I receive negative reply. I was witness when the item was sold 20-30 % less than the average, but at the same time I was ready and happy to pay more, but my bid automatically rejected. As an example I could bring that I was ready to pay for laptop 700 USD, but laptop was sold for almost 400 USD. Again I am underlining that most of the sellers doesn’t want to waist their time and be bothered with international shipping, But they ship anyway…. And in-country shipping might have some problems the same as out-country. So, what is the difference in this case???
May be they are afraid of being scammed? But, as far as I know, they will never ship out of US, unless they receive the payment? So, who is more covered? I have read a few cases when buyer has received the item and later on claimed that he has never done it. But the same cases may occur in USA. So I would like to suggest to sellers to review their policy regarding the international shipping and just start earning more money.
I believe that there will be the positive change soon.

And at the end I would like to evaluate this topic as useful if you think so, of course.

Best regards,
Ayaz
