Paypal, Japan, Help!

[spartakid]

Ok, I've touched on this before, but I will be shipping an item to Japan when my auction is over on ebay because the top bidders are all Japanese. I was wondering if you could tell me what carrier I should use to ship and what sort of shipping I should use. I just learned that ebay has new rules and holds pay until the buyer says they recieved the item. I don't want to have the buyer scam me and say they didn't get the item and get a refund. I read that some people insure an empty envelope and put that into ebay, is that a good idea? Please help me out on this one. thank you, Ricardo

I use USPS express international, its fast, tracking works well, and probably the most safe and cost effective. I have ship a lot this way and never had a problem.

Also if you high bidder is who I think it is, I have never had a problem with him. Pays fast and leaves good feedbacks.

Scott- thanks for the response, you must know what item i'm referring to. What would you guess it costs to ship the jerseys to japan using the service you mentioned? thanks, Ricardo

[jetersbatboy]

I know it cost me about $40 to ship a 4 pound box, not sure about a jersey. If I had to guess I'd say about $25-30.

Ricardo,
Are you talking about this lot??>

Tadano never played a single game, matter of fact never played a single MLB
game since 2005. You admitted to me via email and via GU Classified that
these jerseys are probably issued however these are now clearly offered as game-used in your auction.

Please let me know how you came to your conclusion that these are now
game used. I may just bid on them.

Thanks

Ok, good, that's what I told all the people that emailed me it would cost (between $25-$35) and that includes delivery confirmation and insurance right?

[spartakid]

Yes, that is my auction and I spoke with you earlier about the jerseys and I called the A's regarding it. The A's told me that the jerseys are considered game used because he did indeed wear the jerseys. I have told any buyer that has asked me that they jerseys show very little use. However, there are some loose seams and signs of washing. So I can't help but assume that he did wear these jerseys. I was under the impression that this was still considered game used. I haven't been at all decietful in answering any questions, I mwould just like to put that out there. Ricardo

I would also like to point out that I quoted the COA from the A's as saying game used, which it does as indicated in the picture on the auction.

Ricardo,
If he did indeed wear the jersey, even if he were sitting on the bench,
it is considered game used. I was just wondering if he was ever even
brought up to an A's game. The Team LOA means nothing. I was just hoping
you came up with something else since if it is indeed game worn its a good
pickup especially with those patches.

Thanks
