Clearing out my spare 486 & 386 motherboards.

Take you chance to grab one of the best 486/386 motherboards, some of these are very rare

I'm selling them on Ebay: http://shop.ebay.com/jonasswe2002/m.html?_dmd … &_sop=12&_rdc=1

How much would shipping cost to the UK for one of those boards? I'm interested in the "MSI 486 MS-4144" board 😎

EDIT: Ok just logged into my Ebay UK account and it shows postage as £5.75 to the UK ($9.00) 😀

Please read the iauction description, the calculated shipping cost is false

Shipping one mobo to the UK (rough calculation):

One mobo = £20
Signed for mail (trackable, insured) = add £5

What? Why those bidders...!! I left them to over-bid me thinking that they really wanted 'em. I didn't mind giving up on these since I already have my SP3, but still...

Anyway, I'm ready to re-bid or buy again, Amigaz! Cheers!

I don't mind relisting them but it's not free to do that.

Apparently the buyers never read my item description which according to them isn't important...next time I will write that text in even bigger size.

Sadly this is the reality on eBay these days, people can't be bothered to read the offer and seem to think it's all fun and games and not to be taken seriously.
You can log a complaint and recuperate the cost, but it takes a week to process - I've had a similar thing happen to me recently when I tried to sell my laptop.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing it but the "nazi-style" these persons seem to posess I won't bother...one even started a Paypal dispute aftet I had kindly presented him with the correct shipping costs like I was going to scam him (???!!)
But I think in the end we have to blame Paypal stupid system that you have to type in a cost for shipping which is only applicate for seller living in the country of the ebay site you use...so these buyers just ignored my info in the listing and clicked "pay now" with the incorrect shipping costs

Thanks for clearing that for me 😀 It seems Ebay is always messing things up regarding international shipping and listing fee's etc... Anyway i think i will give it a miss for now, cheers 😀
