Hi guys- My question is this: I sold to a buyer in UK. I charged $14.99 to ship domestically and $36 to ship international. So over at the shipping invoice page i see where i am supposed to ship to their hub - ok all good there, but suddenly the cost to ship has gone from my domestic charge of $14.99 to $17.00 - why??

For the record, the actual shipping cost to ship to their hub was $12.00 so what happens to the $3.00 left from the domestic shipping - or actually $5.00 left, because ebay has decided to charge the $17.00 for domestic? Do they simply carry whatever is left from domestic shipping over to the cost of international shipping? And what happens if the international shipping is above or below my price of $36.00?

Another related question: I chose to ship USPS Priority for domestic, but when the shipping invoice page opens it shows just the fact that i have to ship it " ebay international standard delivery" at a cost of " $17.00". It does not specify the method of shipping so my question is could i have shipped the package via "any way i chose like ground advantage" or do i have to stick to shipping it via Priority as stated in my domestic shipping method?

I hope i'm making sense with my inquiries..apologies in advance if i am shooting a lot of questions at once.

Much obliged.

Hi guys- Just got word from Extra Space Storage that my units were broken into..the theft is extensive and i have now lost most of my personal and professional items

This just happened and so i am still reeling from it. Can anyone please advise what i should do next as i dont have my head clear at this point.

No i did not opt into the insurance plan as i could not afford it at the time. Ive been a long time customer at this particular location and hadnt had a problem until now.

I will work on getting a police report as the manager said they could not legally share whatever cctv footage they may have..but warned me that in order to share the video the police would need to come out to the storage unit and review the footage but that oakland being oakland , they will probably never show up. Is there anything i can do to convince the police to come out and analyze the footage?

To be honest i cant move anywhere else at this time because the location i'm at was the cheapest i found. The consequence of that may be the fact that they DONT have full time security, he only works a few days a week. Is there anything i can do pro-actively to thwart/throw off a would be thief in the future, any gadgets worth looking into (perhaps something i can place on the inside)?

What is amazing is when they did message me and i ofcourse went straight away, the night shift person found my gear strewn all over the corridor and had the frame of mind to gather it up and put it in an unused locker so i was able to retrieve some of the items the robbers didnt care for. The rest will be peddled at the next flea market gathering probably..

Thanks in advance.

I know robberies in oakland is nothing out of the ordinary but i have lost a lot of my personal and professional gear.

Any thoughts on how i should approach the management tomorrow when i go back and speak with the am crew? Anything i should demand on ? Will they compensate me with any free rental for "X" amount of months or anything? Just thinking outload..

Many thanks.
