In Response To: Not that difficult to craft boilerplate text... (Chicagoland Chuck Maddox)

May be you dont understand Chuck; its different for EVERY country: limits, sealing, zero and all combis of that.

Maybe you don't understand Alex, I'm not asking for that, or anything even remotely like that.
It is simply NOT that difficult to include text similar to what I have crafted and posted previously. Here is that text again for your convience:
Item is available internationally [except to Indonesia and other "problematic" regions of the globe]. Shipping costs will be borne by the buyer. Said costs, insurance availability and costs will vary [greatly] depending upon shipping service choosen and destination country.

Clearly stating what countries the seller will (and will not) ship to, that shipping costs will be borne by the buyer and you will not ship without insurance (for example).

We're not asking nor expecting a detailed listing of every possible method of shipping and their associated costs. That would be unreasonable. However, certain things need to be specified in a listing, like if an item is only available for purchase in the USA (for example).

Participants need to realize that ChronoTrader is only going to be as good as the respect and responsibility exhibited by each person who does business there. You all are making the beds you'll be sleeping in. We also want to do it with as few restrictions as possible. However, if someone screws someone else, we'll have to make rules to prevent reocurrances. It's that simple.

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Let's not let it get that far.
