I have to admit that I have no issues selling the smaller parts ie radios, heater control units, tail lights and headlights to Alaska and maybe even Hawaii. But since we offer "flat rate" shipping we cant ship to these states, or off the Continent.. or to Canada because then we would have to raise the flat rate to cover everyone. and then the $ would be higher.
As it is there are sellers out there offering FREE shipping. Granted their prices are higher, since they up the part selling price to cover the shipping. But people see FREE and buy from them.
I am seriously thinking of speaking with the boss etc and seeing if we can get a free standing website up and running. We can still use PayPal and such. And would have to actually ADVERTISE. *I think its a dirty word around here* But the aggravation of selling on Ebay is really becoming NOT worth it IMHO. granted I wont tell them that since I really love my job. But gads. Ebay stinks
