S&H values and currency

p99ij · Guest

Why is S&H showing as 16.73 GBP against my bid on 203483149061 when the eBay listing shows it as .66 GBP? I have checked my country setting on both Gixen & eBay and they are both set as 'GB'.

That is the rate you would be charged for shipping to the United States.

Are both your Country and Target settings on Gixen set to be the United Kingdom ?

You might also want to check that your shipping address on Ebay has the country set correctly.

To be honest that field has always been suspect for accuracy since it was introduced.

Thanks Mark, Helpful!
Target is set as USA because 'Settings' says "If you are not sure what these should be set to, leave it at its default values (United States), regardless of which country you reside in.". Should I set both Main and Mirror to GB?
Maybe that advice in 'Settings' could be amplified??

If you are a UK resident with a delivery address in the UK then I would set my target to be the UK, in fact, I have.

But the primary reason is so that if I need support for a purchase I prefer to deal with the UK support centre than with the US one, since they are more likely to know how to abide by UK consumer law.
