I have a parcel to send to a buyer in Belgium. It is too long in dimensions for Australia Post and hope someone can advise on an alternative company to use. I don't want it to get lost. Has anyone used TNT or FedEx? UPS don't service Belgium. Thanks

Hi, what should I do if after paying for an item, the seller sends me an email requesting an extra 15 euros for shipping ( originally 19.50 euros, now 34.50 ) ? The message didn't come to my ebay inbox, and the email they want the payment sent to is different to the one paypal says the original payment was sent to. I regularly buy things from o/s, and this is the first time it's happened to me. Thanks.

I think I have a better chance of selling some items if I offer postage but have already listed as Pick Up Only. Can I edit this?

I have a small box to send (once sold) and it will be cheapest to send by AP to buyers on the Eastern seaboard. For potential buyers in WA, it will be cheaper to freight. How do I offer both options? Do I use calculate postage and qualify in the details of the sale that I will arrange courier to WA (as it is cheaper)? And, if I do end up with a WA buyer, do I then adjust the postage manually on the invoice? Any suggestions?

I recently purchased 11 items of clothing from the one seller & he charged me $32 combined postage. When Parcel arrived the postage on it was only $23.30 plus tracking $1.55. When I queeried the extra $7.15 charged he replied "costs that contribute to handling costs such as getting a bus to the post office, purchasing packaging tape etc and the time involved". The items were packed in an old disposable nappy box wrapped in brown paper. What recourse do I have if any?

l was wondering if there is anyone out there had this happen to them and what did they do about it. l brought a item which turned out to be faulty so the seller sent me another which also turned out to be faulty so l asked for a refund which l got but the thing is l have made contact with the seller by e-mail a few times but hes does not seem interested in taking his items back and he will not answer my e-mails.

I recently bought an item and after I had paid for it I realised that the postage address on my Ebay account was wrong however it was right on my paypal account. I recieved an E-mail saying that the seller would send it to the wrong address. I changed the mail address on my Ebay account after paying. How do I get them to send it to the right address!!!!!!!

Hi Folks, Wondering if anybody in Australia has noticed how long it takes for parcels to arrived posted "AIRMAIL" from HONG KONG & CHINA ? I have waited for 2 to 3 months for some, and others are only a couple of weeks. I am sure they end up being freighted via SEAMAIL.

Item listed as local pick up only, and no postage details provided, however, a buyer has won the auction, after I quoted a postage charge for that buyer. How do I add this postage charge to the invoice?

I wish to sell quite large and heavy furniture items and want to specify buyer pick up rather than have to pay for delivery.

Truly, this is a real money making scheme and I have just been 'stung' by it! Now that I have taken the time to look into the 'small' print of this service I will certainly be steering well clear of any seller using this service for shipping. If the seller has to forward the parcel to this service for shipping what is so difficult about just shipping the item to the buyer. Shame on you ebay for supporting and employing such a rip off scheme.

I see that Paypal is the way to go money wise but am unsure as to how to courier it to the buyer. Can someone please give me an idea of how these things work - I live in Melbourne and this item is quite expensive. Looking forward to your feedback. Regards Leigh

I want to combine postage for a buyer and I have gone to the invoice page and typed in the discount in the box and hit 'recalculate' and it doesn't do anything. Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. 🙂

saalesci

this parcel is now missing even though it was attempted to be delivered to buyers postal address in qld, however does this mean i have to go to my local AP to have them chase it up or thats for me (the sender) will i be out of pocket to pay for it to be re-directed back to me in melb?

saalesci

buyer has informed me that she has spoken to her local AP in QLD, and they said i need to go to my local AP and open an investigation ASAP into misplaced parcel, she goes on to say that someone has signed forthe goods at the address i accidentally sent it, but on tracking the parcel it was attempted to be delivered to that address and QLD AP noted incorrect address, would parcel now be in dead mail office in AP, QLD?? please help it's getting to be a hassel for me and buyer

After the auction ended & I was about to send the invoice, adding in the cost for the mailing box. I tried to preview my invoice before sending & a message from Ebay came up saying it could not happen at this time. I tried to go back to the invoice to just send it anyway, but it would not let me. It went back to the selling/sold page & the buyer had paid already within the space af a few minutes. I have sent a message to the buyer asking for them to include the extra packaging cost into the total, but have not heard back as yet. What is the best way to go about this?

thomas3gco

Please help! I got some large items to sell but I don't know which courier I should use to ship them. They are fragile items and too big for Auspost because the dimensions exceed the maximum girth of 140cm. Please help me! Thank you very much

Hi, I recently purchased 7 items from the same seller. Every item I purchased advertised a 30% discount for shipping on multiple items. This by my maths should have come to a $40 app discount. However he is only offering a $6 discount. I have contacted him but he refuses to budge. What should I do next? Thanks in advance. Warren.

What happens when an item simply does not arrive? Genuine buyer and genuine seller (me).

imhappyjan

Hi, when I send an invoice and I want to include postage costs, it won't recalculate the invoice. Is this because I listed it as pick up only? Am I able to change a listing after it's sold to include postage and handeling?

rubeazbargains

Can someone advise me regarding currency. I have not sold anything to Italy before. Thankyou

libby579

The item we sold appears to have broken during shipping. It was a fragile light fitting that I was reluctant to post it but the buyer requested it and she said she would pay postage. She asked us to take it apart and pack it. She agreed to standard post. It has arrived but has broken in half so the buyer has asked for a full refund of auction price plus postage. I definitely don't think that we should have to give her a full refund. What should I do?

deborah2226

Is there a way to add a drop down bar for postage with the different state prices for postage please.

desley2264

Please let me know if it is ebay policy for a seller to send any items over $50 by registered post.

More Knowledge. More Possibilities.
