Re: Askingfor a tiny/big favour (US)
As a seller my issue would be shipping to a 3rd-party address. That is a method of some scammers, so those who do so with legitimacy should consider other options. Collin He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose -- Jim Elliott
Askingfor a tiny/big favour (US)
I am dribbling over a lens at ebay. It's an old, slow, heavy, ugly, but probably good, and most likely affordable, long telezoom. But the thing is, it is an US shipment only item. (What is it with you Americans, and this US only, thing? ;-) ) So, now I am asking; if I am the lucky winner of this auction, can anybody help me out on this, and ship it to me? It will not make you rich, but I'm not in a hurry, and it will make me very grateful. Tim Mostly harmless (just plain Norwegian)
Re: Askingfor a tiny/big favour (US)
There are three reasons. 1. That is the default when you set up your listing 2. Many folk think there are all kinds of problems involved in exporting somthing, and shipping can be a problem for the uninformed. 3. For some reason many out that think ripping off americans is the thing to do, but that would worry me more on buying than selling. You might want to quiry the seller he may, like me, make that decision on a person by person basis. You could also offer to setup the shipping from your end. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf Idiot Proof == Expert Proof --- Tim Øsleby wrote: But the thing is, it is an US shipment only item.

Tim, a friendly word to the seller asking if he/she will ship to Norway can work wonders Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _
