Want to make some $ ? help needed.

This must be a very odd question, but I have a problem.
I have found a bedcover and some other small parts at a very good price, but the seller will not ship to Sweden for some reason.

I am looking a hones person to help me out with reshipping of the goods.

I will pay your shippingcost&bonus with paypal.

/Martin

This sounds like a scam that has been used for many years. If this is honest though please do not take offensive, just be careful with this sort of thing.

Tritoneer would probably get into a wreck on the way to UPS and bust all your stuff.


Where are the items coming from? That will affect shipping costs from the seller to the reshipper. I'd help you out but I refuse to get involved with eBay or PayPal.

The items is on ebay;

I guess I'm pretty smoked if seller won't ship overseas...
I honestly can't think of a reason for him not to ship it to me. It can't be that much of a hussle to send a package to another country?
I've bought lots of stuff from the U.S. during the last years, and everything throug ebay.
I even bought my truck on ebay and then imported it to Sweden.

There is a chance that this might be honest and |I have run accross the problem before.

So................

The reason that some US companies will not ship overseas to Europe is because of the import taxes and duties.
That has happened in the past is that a customer orders something for say $100 on the internet, has it shipped by the vendor and when it shows up, his local customs then adds about another $100 in import duty and sales tax.
Obviously, this is now double the price that the buyer thought he was paying and he rejects the shipment and cancels his payment.
The vendor then has to pay to ship the offending items back to the US and restock.
Basically, vendors have been burnt before and that's why they wont ship outside the US.

So, you need to contact a shipping company in Sweden who will accept the parts from you at their US associates and they will advise on the shipping costs and import duties so you know the figures up front.
You will need the US $ value and the weights and dimensions of the package.

Good luck.

All you need to do is call your local UPS or fed-ex store and tell them what you want shiped and pay for it. They will pick it up at the sellers house. You just need to pay for the e-bay item. Tell the seller what your intension's are and that ups/fed-ex will pick the item up from his place of business or home. Very simple...

I ship form here all over the world and there are extra taxes such as VDT (value added tax) and others. Call UPS and get the ball rolling..

Just in my opinion, I think this is a scam I've heard of this before, that you send the goods over and then get paid with a bogus check. Just wanted to let you know of this, or maybe this could actually be legit, just be careful.

I'm sure the idea is that he pays for the cover, has it shipped to a domestic address and then the receiver turns around and ships it to him. He is assuming all the risk.
