Hello eCRATER community

[canglingy]

Hi everyone, I am young man who hopes to raise some extra funds for my studies. In the near future, I hope to provide alternative health food, helpful household products and some handcraft items to interested parties. I mainly get my stuff from the rural parts of Northern Borneo and local small assembly workshop so the locals can have a little bit of income along the selling process

Well, this is my first attempt at online retailing, hopefully it will be a good experience.

Just a quick question. Why buy from you if you won't guarantee the product will reach me? So, if something gets lost I am just out the money? Doesn't seem right.

I do hope you get many sales, just not by me.

This is what you have in your terms:

I am not responsible for your package after it leaves my hands.
The Postal service is to be contacted if they damage or lose a package.
If you would like postal insurance on your package, it will cost extra - just ask and I will invoice you for the difference.

Insurance is to protect YOU, not the buyer. You can not ask a buyer to pay more then what comes up at checkout, that is an ecrater rule.

That is what I meant about just being out the money if something gets lost. Do you think the USPS or whatever shipping company you use will reimburse me if something gets lost?

I don't mean to nit pick, it just doesn't sound like you have any responsibility for your products. Maybe I am just taking something the wrong way.

Cangliny, you need to check with your own post office for insurance rates, tracking options etc. and then include those fees in your shipping fees or item prices. There are no add ons when a buyer checks out on eCRATER.

Also you need to check to see if the items you will sell are legal to import to the US. Not all food, medicines, and herbals are allowed. If you try selling them they can be confiscated in customs and then you and the customer are out everything and you can be prosecuted. Do a bit more homework before listing your inventory.

Welcome by the way.
