If you order an item and it has cost for shipping to Australia on listing does that automatically mean seller has to ship it. I tend to think and assume it does.
Yes, usually it does mean the seller is willing to sell to your area and is happy to post it.
I ordered a food item(pet)from USA from seller I have bought from often previously and has always been very reliable.
There you go. The seller is willing to sell to Australia and reliably ships items. It's a good seller.
This time they said sorry cannot send item as it has rice product in it. I got a refund.
I said well you have shipped this same item to me several times before. And I should have mentioned shipping cost to Australia is shown on the Ebay site.
Sounds as if they just made a mistake on their listing & just failed to delete Aust as an option or else maybe they have discovered a bit more about our customs regulations.
I'd give them a bit of leeway over the oversight. You know they are normally decent, reliable sellers, you know they are happy to post to Australia when possible.
Look on it this way, they are doing you a favour. They are letting you know the item may not make it through customs. I have a friend who often used to buy from a clothing company overseas. Often over $100-$200 at a time-cheap tops & blouses. They all got through no worries-till one lot didn't, they got held up at customs and she had to pay some huge amount of duty to claim them. You don't want something like that to happen to you, do you? or worse still, have the whole item destroyed and get nothing for your money?
Well have ordered item again and am waiting to see what happens.
How tedious- won't that just be annoying to the seller. He's just finished telling you he can't post it, he has just refunded you. He's going to think you're thick as a brick. I'm not saying you are-just that he is going to think it.
