 Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2011 5:17 pm Post subject: Shipping prices on eBay..... |
 |
|
Why do people on eBay charge so much for international shipping? I live up here in Canada and some of the people who have stuff I would like to buy (ie: recycledgoods.com) charge such stupid amounts for shipping to Canada. Sometimes this is as much as 3 times as what it would cost to ship in the US.
Now I have bought several things from the US off eBay and the most shipping has ever cost for a single CPU is like $10 (price from US postal sticker on package), but the guy listed above wants to charge a minimum of $27 which is just absurd.
Sorry just had to let it out, just has been bugging me for a while now! Anyone else have complaints about eBay and the prices people think they can charge? |

Its the same the other way (Canada - US) so I keep a careful eye on postage costs as it can make a big difference to final cost
The funny thing is there is some US sellers it is cheaper to buy off and send direct to me in Australia than sending within the US
