Because to send an item overseas tracked is so expensive and I for one am not prepared to take the risk anymore..I've had 3 items sent overseas go missing..albeit out of quite a few.. but it's the seller that is out of pocket at the end of the day...and buyers usually don't want to pay the extra cost I find.
You have been unlucky to lose items overseas, but why should you think that happens any more than selling in the UK only?
You think it's expensive to post? Yes it is, don't you think we know that? We live in the real world as well.
We know that RM have put up their prices.
At least in Spain EVERY signed-for item IS signed for, no postie leaves it with a neighbour, or leaves the card wedged in the gate, or leaves a parcel outside.
The named person has to to the PO, not the wife, or the kids, with photo ID, and sign under a camera, every time. It's a far better system than the UK any day.
You think RM is expensive, weigh an A4 envelope with 6 A4 sheets of paper, and see what that comes to on the RM price finder, 1st class. We pay around 4€ for that.
Check my FB since August 2007, that's when we moved to Spain, everything has got here o.k. The system is slow, I admit, but it gets here, and that's the main thing.
Look at the people who won't sell overseas, they are nearly all fairly new on ebay, the sellers who have been around for nearly 10 years are mostly happy to sell, as they realise there's a huge market available.
