International postage

2012billym — Sun, 17 May 2020 00:57:46 GMT

I offer free domestic postage on many items, and for international I specify $3.20 which is the cost to send coins and stamps via letter. But when I look at the listing, it says

Postage:

FREE Standard Postage | See details

Item location:

Port Macquarie , Australia

Posts to:

Australia, Americas, Europe, Asia, New Zealand

On clicking see details, I can find the cost but the few international buyers don't seem to do this and pay the starting bid price. Then I have to get back to them and ask for more. Is there a way around this?

i can only suggest that the coin you sold 333575556864

had no international postage listed.

On your current items I can see $4.20 for postage to the U.S. for example, so I think it should work from now on.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but each country that I clicked on showed postage as $4.20.

Why would international buyers need to click on see details? They can see the postage cost under the item price.

EDIT: sending items untracked is YOUR responsibility, NOT the buyers. Buyers will rarely, if ever, choose the more expensive postage. If it's untracked and it gets lost, the buyer gets a refund. Tracking is your insurance, not the buyers.

Didin't know that. Should I automatically add tracking?

If you want to cover yourself, then yes.
