Ebay

Can someone please explain to me why nobody will ship to the UK, I was going to spend $1000 with one guy but as soon as he new I was in the UK he refused, I don't understand the difference between shipping inside and outside the US appart from the cost which I am prepared to pay.
Trouble is I can't get the parts I want in the UK, so the only thing I can do now is come over order them and bring them back in my luggage, whats the score here as when I sell stuff on ebay I send it all over the globe.

Having worked in the distribution business.....It's very complicated to ship outside the US. Can be done, but takes a bit more savy than most e-bay sellers have.

I see so it's not just the case of putting more stamps on it then.... from the UK it makes no difference, you just pay the money and the post office do the rest. fustrating because I can't get what I want for my bike here, I even considered possibly distributing the stuff for them within the UK as there is a huge demand here, but as they don't seem to want to know I have to stick with my bog standard sporty.

RE: Ebay

Hey, if you want to talk about distributing part in the UK, let me know. I know how to ship internationally, maybe we can work something out man. Start our own little HD parts distribution service.
