    Is there a setting on International sale so postage doesn’t default to International Economy?
                     

    Summary: injenooitee inquired about whether there is a way to adjust settings for international sales so that postage does not default to International Economy. davewil1964 and sandypebbles participated in the discussion, but no solutions or settings adjustments were discussed in detail.

    I am a seller and I recently sold an item as a Buy it Now to an overseas buyer New Zealand), and eBay defaults the shipping to International Economy Air which can take between 10 & 21 days.  My buyer, before buying, contacted me to find out if I would send to NZ.  I sent her a quote for Standard Shipping, which was a bit dearer, but would get to the buyer quicker.  She was prepared to pay that.  I wasn’t sure how to change it, so she agreed she’d pay the extra if needed.  I told her that eBay won’t allow it.  Anyway, she paid and it was International Economy.  

    ‘’is there a setting on default international shipping?  I have my own policies setup….is there a way I need to do it there?  If so, does anybody know how I create the shipping options so this doesn’t happen again.  It’s happened in the past that I create the international shipping label and I’m always out of pocket by a few bucks.  

    Can anybody assist?

    Thank you.

    I suspect that would be the option to not use eBay to calculate postage.

     

    I have occasionally sold to NZ. I simply get the buyer to agree to the postage and Robert's your mother's brother.
