i have been shipping all my life to the UK. (family). i just shipped a package to Argentina the other day. i hope she gets it, some countries are so strict about what they will let in..yes even fabric can be banned.(it is a gift for someone here on the board,she didn't buy it) I shipped to another gal here from Israel. no problems.
IF you use a Flat rate envie..you can do it on line and the custom forms are filled out on line also. you have to know the weight of course. then when you go to the post office..they scan it..from the info you printed out at home. no fuss. having the address, in the correct order,line is important.
i have shipped to Canada,Turkey,Australia also. no problems.
on usps.com they have estimate shipping costs over seas. you just have to know the weight, and the way you want to ship it..they give you all the choices of shipping and the costs all on the same page.
Now if someone here tried to hold me to a price quoted..because i didn't put "only ships only to USA" on it..i would tell her to either pay for it all..or it would go to the next person who wanted to buy it. and not worry about bad reviews. this is a friendly board..hopefully!
i don't put "will ship outside USA" on this board, because it doesn't matter to me. i will ship it to where ever.
So please ask the seller here, if she will ship to you..ya never know..she may or may not, and never thought about it.
if you ship ebay..you need to find out how to limit or open up your shipping..it is on you, not the buyer. they have tutorials.and message boards to learn.
easy mistake, but can be fixed for future sales. i would eat the profit for my first mistake..after that, i would find out how to work Ebay better.
i have bought on etsy but never sold on there.
