eBay international shipping??

[beerman_1001]

Have a vintage trumpet for sale.  Got a DM from someone from Japan, who wants a quote to ship to them.  In my mind, I’m ALREADY ENROLLED in eBay’s international shipping program and that my ad, when viewed by any international buyer, should make this obvious.

 What could have possibly prompted this question on their end??  I’m more than willing to sell it to them, but only thru the international shipping platform.

Thoughts??

TIA.

The trumpet is not eligible for eIS, probably due to the price. Since you don't want to ship direct you can let the buyer know some international buyers use US-based freight forwarders to complete purchases with US sellers.

Well that item doesn't seem currently eligible for the international program.

Checking it is currently US only.

So what prompted them to contact you is because currently it doesn't ship to them.

Maybe @wastingtime101 can provide some insight on the reason. They know most of exclusions and parameters that might disqualify something.

Lol well I was late sorry.

We can only guess in situations like this. OP's other listings are eligible so my guess is price.

I don't know, the price seems kinda low IMHO.
