Odd shipping policy
Hi all
I'm a member since 2009 and i faced an odd issue which i don't know the cause of it!
Several sellers from China specially stopped shipping to Qatar (where i live) knowing that those sellers change the shipping policy suddenly after adding their products to my watch list and before placing an order!
I don't know why those sellers stop shipping to Qatar. I thought about contact some of those seller but i thought this is a waste of time!
I'm a good buyer with excellent feedback out of all sellers i dealt with .. no one ever gave me a negative rating!
For my information there is no change in Custom policies in Qatar but there might be something made these sellers avoiding shipping to Qatar and i don't think the reason is the cost!
Have anyone found a similar issue?

·10 months agoI don't know the specific reason for what you're seeing, but if sellers won't ship direct to your country you can look into using a freight forwarder in a country where the sellers do ship.

You probably already know this: On eBay, every single seller is able to decide where he'll ship and where he won't ship. If a seller no longer ships to your location, about the only thing you can do is try to find a seller who does.
