Just lost another good deal here on astromart. Ok! Be honest, why does some people don’t ship overseas? Is it the trouble with shipping fee, packing or something else? Please can someone explain this?
Thanks,

Hi: I can only speak for myself...
For me, it's the added effort required and the added uncertainty. I have a hard enough time as it is shipping something inside the US. Overseas requires more care packaging. Also there are uncertainties about customs, both a declaration at the post office on this end as well as issues with customs on the buyers end. And then there is the issue of theft somewhere along the line.
I personally prefer to sell things locally so that I can meet up with the buyer and make sure he or she is getting exactly what they are expecting and is happy with the deal.
My suggestion to you, as an overseas buyer would be to offer to pay the seller something extra for the added efforts and uncertainly that shipping overseas entails. It would probably be worth it for you.
