Comments on: 9 ways to say “ja” to overseas buyers http://tamebay.com/2009/11/9-ways-to-say-ja-to-overseas-buyers.html eBay & ecommerce made easy Mon, 13 Feb 2012 01:13:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ellen http://tamebay.com/2009/11/9-ways-to-say-ja-to-overseas-buyers.html#comment-53583 Ellen Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:52:32 +0000 http://tamebay.com/?p=9835#comment-53583 Interesting discussion ... Can I just add a positive comment for Surface Mail if you sell in a low-risk cat? For a 2kg box, it's half the price of Airmail to territories like Oz and Canada and many buyers out there aren't fazed by the wait. Now that ebay have shortened the feedback window from 90 to 60 days, I get emails saying that the items have arrived in time for Christmas etc from very happy buyers. Interesting discussion …

Couple of things from our own experience: Surface mail only costs a very little less than airmail in most cases, and is just not worth the hassle. We refer to overseas bidders as "Bidders from outside the UK" as we have had the same comment from a US buyer as Sue! (I am sure that is coincidental that both were from the US... ;-) ) We have been lucky with Italy - it is South Africa that is our bete noir. Excellent advice.
