Ebay question, international shipping?

lcrain · 01-12-2012, 07:10 PM

So I bought my brothers nikon d90, selling my canon rebel xsi 450d (with a couple lenses) on ebay.

A couple of people have asked me to ship it internationally. One to Italy one to Russia. I am leery to ship it internationally.

Does anyone have experience doing so??

Thanks in advance

I avoid international auctions. Lots can go wrong.

We ship international on eBay all the time. Check the feedback before doing anything, make sure it is recent and 50+, more importantly make sure they know about customs fee's, they are high in both countries.

I shipped internationally a few times. If you ship USPS, you must do Express mail or there is no tracking number. Almost got screwed when I sold my iPhone and shipped it through Priority.

I just wouldn't. Make sure their address is 100% verified, if they give you a different address than STAY AWAY. I let my international buyers know that I will wait 3-5 days until the funds have cleared before I mail.

plenty of USA buyers, not need to ship oversea.

i've done it before, it went well but now that i think about it i don't know why i did it lol, i'd be weary about it especially with such expensive items

all of my mil gears (cag) were shipped overseas. no prob at all. actually you may profit more. just use express mail.

Just check the buyer's feedback. It's no hassle at all. I've shipped to Romania and some weird places. eBay is very protected.
