I'v been selling some TCG cards on Ebay lately. All worth $15 to $60 each. The thing is that the game is dead here in the states. But the game is still alive in places like Singapore, Japan, Poland, and Finland. Among other places in Asia and Europe. But I don't want to send over seas because the tracking is so expensive. For example, tracking to Japan was quoted around $50. How can I ask anyone to potentially pay more for shipping than what the card is worth? Whenever I make a listing, I get several messages from people in Asia and Europe who want to buy. But tracking is holding me back from selling to anyone outside of the states.
I'd really like to open my buyer base by selling world wide. Are there ways of insuring that I won't get scammed by somebody who could just say "I didn't receive the package"? Is there something I could put into the description of a sale that would make the buyer liable if the package "doesn't reach them"?
Luckily I haven't been scammed on the first couple of listings where I had to honor the sale to other counties.(I didn't know about closing sales off to other countries in the advanced settings)
I'm looking for somebody who has experience with selling world wide. How do you handle expensive tracking? Would it just be a good idea and stick with only selling in my country?
