No it wasnt, which is expected,why would you insure and have tracking for anything that sells for under $10,when i sell something i only use insurance if it sells for over $100,never had anyone say they didnt receive their item.

joesmooth Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Why is your shipping so expensive,$25 to ship a cartridge is ridiculous I'm charging actual shipping costs for USPS Priority International Mail. The shipping charges are calculated automatically by eBay based on weight and destination. I think it sucks that the international USPS prices have gone up so much, but that's the way it is and Priority International is the only method I use (I've had too many problems with other delivery methods).

I have shipped over a thousand packages and 4 of them I got screwed on. All overseas. I ship nothing without tracking or insurance, overseas.

It cost even more than priority but PayPal only offers seller protection if they use Express Mail when shipping internationally. I wish that a cheaper method was available that offered seller proection but there isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Its a pity,you have some really nice stuff there for sale,but your shipping method and costs makes it unrealistic for me to bid on them. I just have to write in defense of Joe's use of Priority Mail International. While some sellers are willing to take a chance with First Class International (myself included), I don't blame anyone for using a trackable method of shipping, which Priority Mail International now is. Of all the packages I've shipped, the only ones I've ever had an issue with not arriving have been internationally. This includes packages sent to Canada, Europe and South America. In those cases I pretty much am screwed and PayPal always sides with the buyer if you don't have proof of delivery. It's unfortunate that international deliveries are not as reliable as domestic shipping, and because of that I do not blame sellers at all for requiring more expensive shipping in order to protect themselves (both from non-delivery as well as people gaming the system to ripoff the seller). I know some people who will only ship via Express Mail International, which of course is even more expensive than Priority Mail. You get more reliable tracking, and presumably a shorter delivery time. And it's not as large an increase over Priority Mail compared to the difference in First Class via Priority. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesmooth Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Are those silver telegames games PAL? I believe those boxed Telegames games are PAL, since they came from the U.K. I can confirm that later in the week, but we just had a baby and I'm still in the hospital -Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
