Hi, I've just come across a US auction on Ebay where the seller says he'll ship overseas, but when I try to buy or bid on the item Ebay says it cannot be shipped overseas and contacting the seller is prohibited. Can someone please help. Thanks. # 130680881037 | ||

I've had this problem numerous times and not worked out if there is a way to contact the seller, I'd be interested in finding out if it's possible. | |||

Unfortunately there is no way I can contact the seller. I tried to create a US account, but they wanted to confirm my account via phone. As it was a dummy number that leaves me back to square one. I've had the exact same message before. I realise the seller is new, but there is nothing more frustrating than getting that message. Though I would like to know why it occurs only with some US members and not others. Thanks for replying Treksearcher. | |||

I suggest you contact a US member here and ask them to contact the seller to change the listing to worldwide. | |||

Thanks Graham, I have thought about that, but as I'm still fairly new I don't know anyone and I didn't want to be too intrusive asking random members. Can you recommend anyone? Thanks again. | |||

I have sent the seller a note advising them that if they want to have Internationial biddders see and bid on their items, they need to offer a shipping option. Hope this helps. ____________________ Feeling happy? Then rip open a box. Feeling blue...then rip 2! | |||

I have come across this problem several times myself and I usually contact the seller via the "Ask a Question" facility asking them if they would accept a bid from outside the US. On most occasions I receive a favourable answer with the shipping sorted out if I am successful. I have been so I know it works. I have also experienced one seller (twice) not only not answering the question but also removing the items from the site. regards John ____________________ | |||

The seller sent me a note that he was changing his shipping to allow international bids. Good luck! ____________________ Feeling happy? Then rip open a box. Feeling blue...then rip 2! | |||

Big thanks Igman, your e-mail did the trick and I managed to buy it. I really appreciate the effort you went to. | |||

Hi John Sometimes sellers have their settings set up so that you can't even send them a question using the Ask a Question facility if you are an International buyer, this is the problem Cobalt_Blue was having and I have had in the past. | |||

Not a problem, I saw that it had sold and was hoping that you were able to snag it. Good luck on the break! ____________________ Feeling happy? Then rip open a box. Feeling blue...then rip 2! | |||

Treksearcher Of course you are absolutely correct, I too have experienced that problem which I had forgotten. Many thanks for the reminder. regards John ____________________ | |||

And he actually did so later that day. The seller was a newbie, and probably didn't even realize his settings were screwed up. Cobalt_Blue, it looks like you went back to the same guy for a second copy, so it proves that a seller is wise to be responsive when Igman7 points things out to him! | |||
