Holiday Happiness Through eBay

I love shipping my items all over the world!

Yeas ago, I extended selling my items to offer shipping world wide.  It’s really been an exciting experience.  Even years later, I’m amazed at what a huge draw the international market is to purchasing merchandise from the United States.

A little background information:

 One of my auctions was running, and it did not meet the desired Reserve Price.  I received a message shortly after the auction ended.  It started as a regular question and answer regarding what the reserve price was and if I intended on re-listing the item.  In particular, she was very interested in buying my lot of Toys and absolutely needed them for Christmas.  Of course, I thought – I can make this happen, there is still 2 weeks before Christmas.  This sparked an interesting conversation.  It turns out this customer was from Hungary.  Now – with a new set of deadline concerns, I reached back out to the customer to make sure they were completely aware of the shipping deadline and of course, the cost.

It turns out, the toys she wanted to buy, were extremely hard to find in her Country.  When she does find them, they are so expensive, it’s just not worth it.  She was willing to pay $100 JUST in shipping in order to have these for Christmas.

Long story, short….we made it happen.  The toys are on their way to Hungary in time for Christmas.  Sometimes you just never know how eBay will bring joy to other countries in time for the holiday season.  Offering world wide shipping has made a big difference in my selling success.

Enjoy Your Holidays!
