I bought my last laptop refurbished at eBay, it was shipped to me in Switherland from the U.S.

Now I'm looking for a Netbook to travel, I just couldn't find any at eBay. So I entered the site of eBay U.S. – and a lot of offers are there. But NOT ONE would sell to to other countries. Often stated in BIG LETTERS.

So I was wondering what's going on and I started to google, so I found your blog.

Thanks for this interesting information. I just can't believe that eBay supports the decrease of U.S. exports *shakinghead*. Sad, and I don't get my refurbished Netbook

I have noticed actually the number of sellers from U.S.A that will not sell at all to Canada. Now can anyone at all give me a reason for that other than just being rude? If I am willing to pay the quoted shipping there should`nt be a problem but I have come across an increasing large number who will not sell to Canada at all. I myself ship worldwide but I also let the buyer know that there will be extra expense for the postage and of course a longer delivery time. I do pay a bit more for fees but I would rather sell my product to China or Pakistan than to have it collect dust on my shelf. I think that ebay should equalize their fees for evryone but at the same time make International shipping a must.

Jon,
I love your stuff, just ROLF after my 2nd viewing of this vlog…. old Art History/management major, math not my forte. The irony of you giving the ( our ) Peace sign 2 fingers in a V in an upward motion = up yours (ass) or F-U in most of Europe & other counties. I’m sure you didn’t “mean” it that way… just kinda fitting giving the topic.
Thanks for passing on your wisdom in the most down to earth way &
Thanks for the giggle!

I should probably clarify that my Master’s was in Computer Science and not an MBA. That means I’m forever cursed to looking at this situation from a rational and logical point of view. If I had an MBA like the great John Donahoe I might understand. I can come up with alternative theories about their motivations really are but they simply don’t match with what we’ve been told by eBay.

Great video. I went to college myself and got a Master’s degree and I still don’t understand why they are doing this. I spent about 9 months from 2007 – 2008 selling almost exclusively overseas via USPS Express mail before they made the DSR cutoff rules. As a result once those went into effect I was almost immediately thrown off eBay even though nothing I did was against policy or even their SNP policy at the time of the sales. Now I’m back to almost all domestic, almost 5 stars across the board, and making about 10% of the sales I was making before (mostly voluntarily).

By the way I released a website on March 1st (about 3 weeks before eBay) where you can generate very similar DSR reports. We give you the actual numbers of 1’s – 5’s instead of grouping them into 1 & 2, 3 & 4, and 5 categories and giving just percentages. It does concern me that they group 3 and 4’s on their reports especially since many sellers complain buyers leave them 4’s thinking they are good ratings. Comparing the number of 5’s and 4’s you’ve received might make an interesting analysis.
