Would it put you off ???

[J7339]

Because I have just joined here - but am from Australia, I just wanted to know what people's general perception was - would they buy from someone who was from another country and who is so new ???

I sell overseas everyday - but was thought my location may put buyer off ??

Maybe I am just being a worry wart.

Hello Jules! Put off - no, worried about cost of shipping yes! A lot of Depression glass went down under so if you are selling that for a low price you may have a market here. Sorry I was in a hurry to get out the door earlier - thought you were a Shelia - Julie. Bad eyes! Happens when you get old!:D I am only one person so who knows - depends on what you are selling.

Have a great one mate!

Please don't take offense to this as it is not meant to be.........WORRY WART LOL
You have your feedback listed, If I were your buyer, that would be the first thing I would check out. As long as you do your job as a seller, it shows in your feedback. Online transactions are all about trust.
Unless there was some indication telling me otherwise, or unless I personally had a bad experience with you, I would not hesitate to buy from someone that is from a different country.
I actually made a sale to someone in Australia last year, transaction went just as smoothly as I had hoped it would. So on that theory, do you as a buyer have any issues of buying from someone in another country? Probly not if the seller has good reputation.

Hi,

So far, most of what I sell has been inexpensive to send anywhee overseas - haven't had too many problems - and most people have been happy with the cost and the time frame they receive items in.

Thanks for replying.

I looked and see what you mean. No worries. Simple mail. Nothing heavy or bulky.

[J7339]

There is some heavier and bulkier items to go up yet - but even with heavier items I find that if you quote reasonable postage and give good customer service and the packaging is adequate - then buyers usually have no trouble coming back.

I have even posted heavy books from Australia to the US - even though the postage was a little more than normal - the customers were happy at the end of the day.

As a buyer - I have no trouble buying from overseas, depending on what it is.

bother me at all..Thank you for the question and all the very best here!

Thanks Lanascountry,

The main reason for my question - was to guage how difficult it might be just as I am putting my foot through the door - not only as a newbie seller here - but also a newbie from somewhere else.

I was hoping that buyers wouldn't be put off by that - and hopefully judging from your replies that will be the case.

Thanks for all the replies - appreciated.
