Hi wondering if anyone can help. I am interested in a couple of items from ebay - seller in the US. Shipping details says "will ship to US" - does this mean won't ship to OZ?? Sent an email to the seller about 5 mins ago - but auction closes in about 20 mins. Don't want to bid if a problem with shipping.

Can anyone shed any light (never bought anything from ebay before....)

do you know anyone in the states....... "ship to US only" most of the time means just that....... maybe you'll get a reply but don't hold your breathe😠

Ok thanks, better not take the risk, would only be saving about $40 (but $40 bucks is $40 bucks right) - but it's not worth the gamble I guess......

i have found that you have to ask if they ship to oz at least 1 day before auction closes
quite often they will ship to oz,i've only ever had 2 knockbacks

Ok thanks - yeh I only just noticed it this morning...

and Desert Mouse - hope you were successful and it works for you like it did for my grandma (she ran out and needed more). Apparently it clears up the nasty rash within two weeks - just stay away from sex until then......:P

I have found many shops over there won't sell outside the 48 states.....
Many don't want to know about outside the USA...
most think there is NO World outside the USA... except Mexico and they don't trust them....

Same applies in Australia .. ships only to Australia....

Being ripped off with the Packing charge is the biggest scam on ebay...
I always ask the cost of postage... if its $20 instead of $4-30 I tell them to shove it.... as the packing can be anything $5-$20+
Many people are now saying that they only charge for the postage.... a great idea...

and ebay is trying to get people to advertise the cost of postage... another great idea.... the ebay shops are the worst offenders.... they make their money from the $20 post & packing ..... well not from this little black duck....
