Apparently one person even looked at getting on a train to collect the boat and taking it back on the train, they obviously have no idea how big a 9' boat is!
I have 2 inflatable boats on eBay, both say collection only. The main reason is packing, I know they are both inflatable but with ply transoms, they are heavy and big. I don't want to pack the things, if it's not packed right it will be my fault.

I'm a large 12, can I return it?
I sold a wetsuit, described as S/M, which is up to a 12 according to the manufacturers website. My Mrs is a 12 and it fits her, so should be fine.
Had a message, can I return it, it is too small! It is a 12, I am a large 12. How big is a large 12? 14, 16, 18? Anyway, I accepted the return. Just re-sold it, my instant thought was, I hope this one isn't misguided about her size.

eBay postage is too expensive, can you do it cheaper
After winning a dress, not mine my Mrs, I got a message: The postage is too expensive! I replied, I don't think £3.99 is expensive.
He said, I live in Norway, it says £16.44, can you get it cheaper? He normally pays £7-8 apparently.
I told him I don't want to waste my time looking but just this one time I will. Post Office want £12.31, Parcelmonkey wanted £20.51.
I can't find anyone to take it to Norway for £7-8, he bought the thing and must have looked at the shipping at the time. I have now wasted my time running around for him, so I have told him he must find someone to ship it for the money he wants to pay.
I don't use the P.O., too expensive, so I have to make a special trip (drive, I live rural) to get there. Then if the price is better, drive there again. There is no thought of the seller, I don't add anything on the postage for packaging or travelling. Hence my feelings towards international shipping.

How much to Portugal?
I really do not like shipping internationally, I offer the eBay global shipping program for anything that isn't too heavy, like the boat I mentioned in a previous post.
I have had a message, how much to post a 35kg boat to Portugal? I can but take a lot of packing and it will cost more than the boat!!! So I'm not even going to bother looking, I don't have the time to waste looking.

Cling film it
In response to my response about posting the boat, can I wrap it in cling film? Why does he thing I said collect only? It is so that I don't have to spend my time, mucking about, trying to wrap and post a 35kg boat.
Just stick a label on it
Today's eBay question is a beaut! I'm selling a small inflatable boat, with plywood deck, that weighs about 35kg: Can I post it? Apparently all I need to do is stick a label on it! Has this person ever posted anything before?
