why???

Did they say they wont post it or is there no postage rates listed for Ireland?

 

As neilo said some sellers forget to add an international postage rate
which will automatically not allow anyone outside there country to bid on it,
the seller might not realise this, send him a message and let him know
he could change before the auction is over

 

Some wont send chemicals

 

nope
i messaged him and he said no delivery to ireland

was oem roof bars

The last seller to say that to me got a big long rant as a reply the jist of which was to cop on it was 2000 and what ever year it was and Ireland was next door and full of potential customers,i promptly got a quote for postage and purchased the item

ye had the same problem with a part i wanted just told him to stick it up his hole!

 

Probably cause there too lazy to go to the post office with the item to get a quote for postage, lazy fuckers!!

 

I wanted to buy something last week and the lad kept asking for a postal code. Told him we dont have postal codes over here and he just ignored my messages. Some people dont want the hassle.

 

i had a similir problem with a set of wheels. it came down to lazyness.
i was gutted.
5 of the MINTYEST MINT teladials i've ever seen with full adapters and studs and tyres for very good price and i wasnt even haggling but he wouldnt go to the hassle of sending them over.

Iv done that before but this lad wanted the postal code for postage costs.

 

If anyone needs somewhere in the uk to have stuff posted to let me know and I can sort it out. They can post to me and then i'll get the stuff taken down for you.

I bought a phone of ebay.co.uk, there was no postage offered for it, so I just bid anyway won the item and email the question how much to post it? no problems, until he went to post it, The nice woman working the post office said "eh there is no post code so this address doesn't exist and there is no house number so it must be wrong". to which I explaned only in dublin we had post codes and in the country house don't get numbers. he had to DHL it in the end due to the fools that the Royal mail employ!!!

 

That's fairly shocking. The worker in the post office must have been new or senile. Even the automated machines in the post office can print a label and it's posted no problem.

 

Yeah I just make up a postcode and give it to them, it keeps them happy. I just use EIR WE5

 

I can do the same as Baz if anyone needs it, just send me a pm.

Some courier companys try to charge stupid prices for shipping though, and in actual fact it usually wouldn't be costing them anything more to add a few pallets to a trailer with the set contracts.
Collections and delivery would be the only real cost to them, collecting from one of there "hubs" saves a fair bit.

 

When i bought my KO4 turbo and injectors off ebay he was moaning about having to send to Ireland and that he preferred to have sold it in the UK but he said he would send it this time. I was sooo honoured

 

lazy fuckers!!!

i found 2 oem mk2 golf roof bars for £20 in all most mint condt

 

I'm sending my old headlights to some guy in England there. Just went down to post office there and they want €44. Thats a crazy price.

 

Rob, take them up to Newry and post them.

They'll be about £18.

 

.

 

I've priced loads of stuff that people were wanting to have sent down and the postage is usually twice or more than the cost of a delivery within the UK. It's because it's treated like a full on international delivery from the uk mainland. Check out the prices on interparcel.com or any of those other sites. The cost is ridiculous and even adds extra from england/scotland/wales to get stuff posted to up here.

You need a licence to ship chemicals. You even need a licence to ship a car battery.

Ive been e baying for years and never had an issue. I know the blaynatron did once with some rolls of velcro or something stupid.

 

Messaged a lad on ebay there about some interior bits

got a reply "No arrange your own courier "
