Which Countries To Avoid Shipping To (Chargeback Problems)

[UnboxingTreasures]

I was wondering what countries have provided you problems in terms of their citizens performing charge backs on items you sent them.

 

I'm trying to put together a list of countries to "avoid" when selling products.

 

Thanks!

My friend always tells me Nigeria, and Italy. He said Italy has a terrible postal service. Can anyone confirm this?

Without saying something that could offend, it probably would be better to start your research according to PayPal worldwide coverage.

 

In a few words, a lot of the problem buyers gravitate towards certain types of consumer items. Electronics for instance will have a strong following from countries like Indonesia (which isn't a country covered through PayPal because of the high incidence of credit card fraud) and Italy. In the past, when I have sold electronics, I steered away from these two areas, and the tip-off was primarily that buyers seemed too willing and eager to overpay for goods, shipping, etc.

 

The best way to go about this is to create a shipping "comfort" zone, where you know everything you need to know about what your shipper can provide in the way of tracking, insurance, etc. If any buyers enter the mix, and it becomes too great a risk as far as not having a traceable service available, or a service level not recognized by PayPal under their seller protection eligibility, perhaps it is these buyers from these areas that you could use as examples for an exclusion list.

 

Bottom line is that chargebacks can occur from people living in the same state you reside. It isn't synonymous with geography, but rather a criminal element found everywhere.

These countries are the biggest reason why I don't ship overseas anymore ( board members excluded). WAAAY too many people charging back and bichin about postage; I just got fed up and said it, no more

Never ship to those who hold dual citizenships.

 

They are bred for chargebacks.
