Discussion Navigating Compliance for Direct Shipping Titanium Alloy Products I sell titanium alloy screws with direct shipping from China. Orange Link cannot ship my goods, so I use other DDP tax-inclusive channels as the primary option and keep Orange Link as backup. When customers pick DDP shipping at checkout, will direct shipment compliance checks pass? Looking for input from fellow sellers: How do you keep international shipments compliant for specialized products? Any helpful tips or resources for logistics issues? Thanks for sharing your experience! 1 hour ago last reply 6 minutes ago I sell titanium alloy screws with direct shipping from China.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Discussion Has anyone tried a no more Mr. Nice Guy approach? I don't literally mean being rude to buyers, but less willing to help. It seems any time a buyer has to converse with me after buying something, it never ends up working in my favor, and then I feel like I've wasted a lot of time. I am wondering if others here have adopted a similar policy, basically if a buyer has an issue, apologize and offer them to return it, and that's all. 1 month ago last reply 31 minutes ago I don't literally mean being rude to buyers, but less willing to help.

Just ordered mine, don't forget us small sellers. Shipping seller Coupons Was very disappointed when the only stickers available were basic "EBAY" versions. Small Business sellers UNITE ! yesterday at 9:09 PM last reply 2 hours ago Was very disappointed when the only stickers available were basic "EBAY" versions. Small Business sellers UNITE ! Discussion Why does some foreign shipping include tariffs, and others does not? This isn't about EIS or shipping from the US. It's about other countries shipping to the US. I was looking at some listings, and a few that I saw (one was in Turkey, I think the other was in China) say with the shipping quote that there's no tariffs after checkout, and they are included in the shipping price. OK fine, mine says there is tariffs before delivery (but that's not even true). I asked eBay how to make that go away so my listings can look like the others, and they said "put it in your item description" (the description that no one ever reads, and you can't even see it on your phone unless you click something). The Turkey seller said his shipping was US Ground Advantage. I haven't always shipped by Ground Advantage, but I could commit to doing it that way if it would make the banner go away (right now mine says economy shipping, generally speaking, so I can choose my service when they pay). I tested one listing and made it Ground Advantage like the Turkey seller, but the banner is still there. I was thinking if you say US Ground Advantage that's domestic shipping from within the US (therefore no tariffs before delivery), but putting that there didn't help. There must be some way that eBay can decide if there are or are not going to be tariffs before delivery when shipping is added to the listing, and I don't like them scaring off my customers by telling them they'll be paying tariffs when every single Canada Post package has to have tariffs prepaid to pass through US Customs.

C. Discussion Laugh of the day. We see posts here from time to time ... "How can they sell that so cheap?" I just stumbled across a listing for: Two One-Dollar Bills.

Today I have a fun example of how eBay can drive your buyers bonkers without you doing anything wrong and without your knowledge. I purchased 3 big junk lots from the same seller last night, and she had them all picked up today. USPS estimate delivery date is Wednesday for all of them (if that seems unreasonable, the seller is in Birmingham and I'm in Mobile, both hub cities in the same state, so it's totally doable). But eBay, go home Sweetie, you're drunk. yesterday at 8:02 PM last reply 3 hours ago

It has some new parts like a head cylinder, piston, rings, timing chain, and gears, but it still requires a coil, condenser, new tires, and timing advance springs. I've lost interest in it, and since the title has been lost, anyone interested would need to handle filing for a new one. I'm asking $600 or best offer, sold as-is with the buyer arranging shipping or pickup. I'm curious to hear from others who have sold or bought vintage motorcycles without titles. How do you determine a fair asking price? What are some effective ways to market a vintage bike like this? Have you faced any challenges when selling or buying without a title, and how did you resolve them?
