Because I'm stupid: can a seller refuse to offer shipping methods? I mean, can they force you to pay for X when Y is much cheaper?

Sure.

Hey, that's it -- I'll offer some ultrarare/unique powerhouse, include a $1000 'shipping cost' for a plane ticket, and deliver it myself. What a selling point -- you rent me for 8 hours as part of the deal!

Damn. I hoped it would be "buyer has the right to request shipping method."

That sounds like a great offer.  Done.  When do you want to come out to Australia Frank?  :lol:

P.S.  Bring some of those cookies!

Serl.

actually good you brought this up - i do this all the time as a seller and i get  a LOT of requests from the US.

frankly, i HATE shipping surface mail (prb as close as the UK gets to M-Bags) - not only does it take at least 6 weeks, its also uninsurable, so i won't use it.

also as i dont have any faith in Paypal or the chargeback scenario, saving something going missing, i just don't allow it, simple as that. i am straight up front about it. i would rather you have the stuff in 5-10 days and i will insure it if necessary, as the value of an item is worth it - normally the seller is understanding about it but i have no doubts i get rated accordingly (ie. downwards). but to be honest i dont care - i would rather the item get there safe and quick, simple as that.

but in answer to your question, yes the seller has the right to dictate that.

Are we nearly there yet?
