That's a lot of assumptions and generalization. But, it has happened to me once so I understand. I PMd an offer and the reply was something along the lines of "so and so offered this much more" That's where I said thank you anyway. Stuff kept getting re-listed anyway.knee said:I like this idea a lot. I always list prices including shipping inside the US.
People say 'make me an offer by PM', because they want to run their own mini-auction with the incoming offers... but auctions are for ebay. Set your price higher than you'd like if that's what you want to do.
Though... it doesn't stop people who make an agreement and then go silent and never send paypal . That's what happens to me on here sometimes. :-\
PM the buyer and explain that you assumed it was a within US transaction. Explain the shipping cost thing, offer a refund. I'm sure that any understanding GAF member will be all right with that.DJ Lushious said:Can I get the community's help here? I'm trying to be a good buyer/seller, but I've recently engaged in a business transaction with another member here that made no mention they were in Canada, while I am in the USA. I received Paypal payment for the item and that's when it was disclosed. Using the USPS, it will cost me nearly the entire payment to ship it across the border. During communication I did mention the USPS a few times, as I was going to estimate shipping costs there.
How can I be a good, upstanding member of this board, while still recognizing that this business transaction is no longer fair for both parties? What is the best way to handle this? Thanks!
I traded with a canadian here who was super up front about it and made the deal worthwhile. I think people should disclose where they are, as most of us just assume it's US shipping, and put this into their pricing assumptions.DJ Lushious said:Can I get the community's help here?

It's big and heavy. It'll cost me $35 to ship it.jling84 said:2) If your package is not that big, send it first class international. The price is actually cheaper than our domestic first class shipping costs. The downside is however that there is no delivery confirmation.

I appreciate all the responses!

One of the reasons for PM an offer is to avoid the problem with listed prices. No one wants 10 replies about a price being to high the an argument ensuing.
Overall, I do think that would be a good guideline.

LQX said:Whats worse is the people that don't list a price then specifically state PM them with a offer. Put a damn price on whatever you are selling. PM you a price then you never respond back either way is frustrating.
