WOT: Why my Bricklink store does not sell overseas
Many a times, I have been asked via bricklink message or email if I do deliver order to countries outside Singapore.
Well, I have done an exception recently, and yet again this is my Bad Experience with forex loss with paypal.
Here is why NOT again.
If you understand how my store works, buyer only pay for actual postage to whatever country (I would go get a quote from local post office) and adding in a percent for Paypal seller's charges. All these sounds fine in a deal, but let's understand more...
Hi xxxxx,
Please find the Quote.
Weight of package: 157.5 grams
Cost of package to Germany: S$12.35
Courier: Singapore Post (National Post)
Payment method: Paypal
Additional charges for Paypal: 4.4% of total Order + S$0.50
https://www.paypal.com/sg/webapps/mpp/paypal-seller-fees
Items: xxxxx
Qty: 40 pieces
Total: S$14.00
Estimated Order total for your consideration.
S$14.00 + S$1.17 + S$12.35 = Singapore Dollar $27.52
Warm Regards,
And so the buyer agreed to pay for the package. Paypal was the gateway to receive payment and was frequently used to pay for my purchases from overseas. This order was billed in Singapore Dollar, and so I would only make senses I need any balance in paypal to be in US Dollar or Euro.
I requested the payment in Euro. And so the transaction when thru, and I receive Euro in my paypal account.
Bricklink order in total would be in S$27.58
But due to wonderful paypal conversion rate, I would only receive S$23.82 to be used for my next purchase.
Why is this happening?I will not utilize any Singapore Dollar in paypal account.
Buyer is innocent in the deal, and shouldn't be ask to pay for difference.
Banks' Credit Card exchange rate are way better than Paypal conversion rate.
This order bypass Bricklink order process, so it exclude Bricklink Seller Fees.
So until my brain could process such loss with Bricklink's order, I would never process with another overseas request.
Thank you for the understanding.
