Questions : Selling here for the first time


   I am selling here for the first time and have a few questions for the experienced sellers. I am just looking for any advices. Is it hard to ship internationally to Canada or een to the world? Should I start by selling just within US?
What's the best method of shipping cost wise and insurance and security wise? Any insights will be greatly appreciated...

Happy listening

Price your item correctly. If you’re uncertain then go to Hi Fi Shark and research sales. Grade your item correctly. A minor scratch may not be minor to a picky buyer. If you think it’s 8 out of 10, then say 7 out of 10 and let the buyer be happy. Disclose, disclose, disclose. I try to price my items correctly and many have sold for asking (depends on demand). Others have sold for about 90% of asking. Buyers will offer you 75% and you can reply, I will keep your offer in mind but I’m not ready to sell at a deep discount. Ship within 48 hours of receiving funds. Find a shipper who will help you. My FedEx guy is awesome. Good luck. 

I’ve shipped back and forth across the Canada-USA border many times and its not as daunting as some would say. it really boils down to how you ship it. generally if the buyer is paying for the shipping cost (as they should) they should ship across the boarder using the easiest means that includes brokerage. If you ship across using one of the priority shipping upgrades its not that much more expensive ( ei; 3-5 business days service) the shipper will get priority sorting at the boarder and brokerage is usually included. This is the only way to ship internationally IMO. Also I’ve had much better luck shipping via USA-Canada Postal service, priority service then the Fex ex’s ect. One more thing for larger items going long distances you can take them directly to the Airport shipping terminal at your local airport and save some shipping cost and they get loaded directly on to the plane from there. If you go to the airport you can ship via Postal service, fed ex ect. most have offices you can ship from their.

one last thing ALWAYS  insure for the selling value do not play the lower price cheating the duty game. that way both buyer and seller are fully protected. chances are there will be no or minimum duties anyway on used equipment.

Thank you so much for everyone's insightful posts! 
Surely they have saved me a lot of headach...
