I am after a decent 3400A but the other seller who had one didn’t want to shift it at the price I wanted to pay. I can afford to wait

Much prefer this one, but the seller didn't respond last year, when I enquired about shipping a counter, so no point asking again. https://www.ebay.de/itm/225070026339

 I do have a 3403A bought from the USA, condition is not quite as nice, not helped by crap packing.

Not having much luck ATM, trying to persuade US sellers to add international shipping either.  :-//
One such example, seller name "globalmachinesales" they are not interested in "global" as only US shipping is advertised and definitely not interested in "sales" as they can't be bothered answering either of the two messages I sent.  :-DD

If you keep running into these asshole sellers who won't deal internationally and it's something you really want I'd be willing to help out on a one by one basis. I've pretty much figured out the customs quagmire and dealing with USPS and their requirements. But just note that it can get expensive.

Hey I resemble that !
TBH I can't be bothered with the paperwork or the risk of stepping on another distributors toes and with contact with the neighboring Siglent dealers we'd hope they respect our position on this and not try to piss one another off.

I've been asked a few times by Aussie members but always point them back to their local dealer.
factory:
I was referring to ebay sales only, but for used or broken vintage TE though.

Bit of a partial result, I contact another ebay seller for a second time and got a reply, fingers-crossed they can add international shipping as they not a big seller and aren't too sure how to allow me to bid, I'm currently geoblocked as that seems to be the default setting for sellers these days (that have never sold internationally).

As for "globalmachinesales", not sure about them, they claim to add an $80 fee for delivery to residential addresses, this would make it very expensive on top of US shipping & international.
It was this counter. https://www.ebay.com/itm/165516217906, shipping is listed as Freight, might be one to avoid.

True, but that can happen and does happen on pure domestic sales as well. Overall I'm still well up on sales and strangely enough, I do sell loads on the GSP and so does my eldest son now, in fact he reckons, since I convinced him, that he sells more via the GSP programme than he does domestically.

I've done a fair bit on GSP recently and it's fairly painless as a seller. Once it gets to the GSP depot that is the end of your shipping responsibility.
I've no idea how much they stiff the buyers for in shipping, taxes and fees though....

Not that much really in the scale of things. I've had to import a few things from the US over the last few years and the pricing is comparable compared to UPS or Fedex handling. And under GSP if it disappears they are easier to deal with than UPS and Fedex are.

I still dislike buying stuff from the US though. But then again sometimes it gets here quicker than a bloody IC sent a few miles. Grr!

Shipping end up a bit more expensive but taxes are normally cheaper with GSP. Not sure how they manage that.
