One of my main beefs are the number of sellers in the
US
who restrict the volume of bids by refusing to ship to
anywhere outside own their limited vision of the world.
Either thru fear of unknown extra efforts, (which for the
most part are minimal) or even ignoring the "will ship to"
section.
My pet hate is people that charge 50% to 100% more postage to ship from the US to
Australia than it actually costs. I have been gouged, *over*charged, an amount almost
equal to the cost of the item before now. That is to say that on a US$25 item I might be
charged US$35 postage, but it's only cost US$18 for them to post.
I've walked away from purchases where postage costs have been this disproportionally
high.
