Hi
Im in the uk and im just curious why it is that people selling on astromart seem reluctant to sell to the uk..when i respond to a ad i always state that i will cover extra carriage charges and have a verified paypal account..but still 9 times out of ten i dont get a answer..? ive read in the forums that there have been some scams of late originating from this side of the atlantic but surly if im paying by paypal and they dont ship till they recieve payment there shouldent be any difference between selling to the UK or the USA

PS not all sellers btw ive bought a few bits from astomart and have found some sellers to be exellant (amit ashok even posted from the uk to save me import duties)

I sold to several folks in the UK and Australia. Nicest people in the world to deal with. Shipping can be a pain in the A. Especially when things don't go right, and the shipper sends a supplemental bill for their error. Yes it really happened.
Other than that it's just no big deal. Considering what things go for in Europe, can't blame you for shopping the US market.
