Subject:      Re: Buying from German Ebay.. Hard/Easy?

I have had several inquires from Germany, and Netherlands, ect, to
purchace parts from my store on ebay. I suppose the reverse is very
possiable. Just contact them and ask. In my case, I sold no parts to
Europe. I only ship with delivery confermation. With UPS, this is standard
and very expensive.With the USPS it is olny avaliable on "letter rate",
and costs $7.90 in addition to the shiping charges.I think all these
European countries have dutiable taxes and brokerage fees like Canada.In
the end, it cost lots and lots to ship to Europe. Without delivery
confermation,if the parcel gets lost(or worse), how is the recipient to
believe you actually sent it? Then if it dosent get  there , how do you
know they are telling the truth?The $7.90 from USPS is cheap, in my
opinion.I loose most foreigh sales this way.Oh well.

Without delivery confermation,it can be cheap. I just dont need the
issues.My choice.

On the other hand, shipping into the  good ole USA is probably cheap, as
there are no dutiable taxes or brokerage fee,as far as I know.Never
actually done this.
