they are probably willing to pay $(X+14) with $6 shipping

And even if you lose a paypal dispute shipping FCI to Canada, your Canadian buyer is just like any other. When bidding, they figure in the cost of shipping. So if they were willing to pay $X with $20 shipping, they are probably willing to pay $(X+14) with $6 shipping. That’s a heck of a lot of extra money for you to put aside to cover any potential problems.

you will have to ship it by USPS Priority Int’l

It’s about $20.00.

You can use First Class International, which is much cheap. However, there will be no tracking.

If you want to use cheaper method, and worry about not cover by Paypal SPP, I suggest you request your Canada buyer to send you a Canada Post MO in US funds. You can cash the Canada Post MO in any USPS branches.

How much for 10 day auctions?

i will be selling about 20 vintage items in a couple of weeks and im wondering if it’s worth it or if i should just stick to 7 days.

how old is this vintage set?

Further to my previous E-mail, I have today received the above item.
To say I am dissapointed in the item would be the understatement of my life!
When you buy a vintage bottle of wine you expect it to be filled with wine, but to recieve two empty bottles is rather pathetic.
I purchased seven items from Honkong and they arrived in four days. I buy one from the U.S.A., and it takes nearly one month to arrive.
You sale notice on E-Bay did not make it clear you were only selling empty glass bottles.
I wanted to give my wife some Evening in Paris perfume for Xmass.
This moring when she opened your parsel she nearly cried before bursting out laughing and theatened to throw it in the bin.
She said it reminded her of a joke she heard when a little, it goes like this, A little boy ask for a donkey for Xmass, when he woke up all he saw was a pile of manure. He asked his father were was his donky. He replied that it had been there but it had run away.
I will certainly think carefully before buying on E-bay anything from the U.S.A.
I would still like to give her some Eveng in Paris Perfume but I will not buy it from the States.
May I wish you all that you deserve in 2008
Yours sadly,
G.F.Eames

My reply to him

Dear wed1957-35,

I am sorry you are disappointed, however, it very clearly states in the description that both bottles are empty.
