Re: "Item Not Received" HELP!

Post by maxvintage »

I just wanted to bump this up as I have gotten a lot of international interest recently. Especially Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand. Is it always good to do delivery confirmation when shipping internationally just as a safety measure? I know there's a lot of business to be had over there and I really don't want to turn away any customers, but I also don't want to end up screwed.

Thanks!

I have to block Malaysia and Thailand. There aren't enough seller protections to make it worth the risk. The past 4 items I've sent there have been "lost" in the mail.

Blocking Malaysia? Ouch! If you have anything rayon to sell, sell it to me and I'll send it to them!

So my one guy in Malaysia who didn't receive an item got it after 7 weeks and left positive feedback, luckily. Shipping to these locations under these new rules is just not worth the hassle unless they pay for express shipping.

Yeah, ebay sucks all around. I don't like to use it much. I haven't had a bad experience on etsy yet (knock on wood), and I get a LOT of international customers, ratio wise.
