International shipping for buyers
Buying from a seller in another country works just like any other order on Preloved Bazaar — with one extra thing to check before you fall in love with an item: whether it can be shipped to you.
Availability is set per listing
Every seller decides, for each item, whether it ships only within their own country or internationally as well — and if it ships internationally, whether that’s worldwide or only to specific regions (Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Africa or Oceania). This is chosen on the listing itself, so it can differ from item to item, even from the same seller.
What this means for you:
- If a listing ships to your region, you’ll see a postage option at checkout and can buy as normal.
- If it doesn’t, the item can’t be delivered to you — checkout won’t let the order through. When you’re signed in, items that can’t be shipped to your region are filtered out of the shop and search automatically.
So if you’re shopping from abroad, it’s always worth checking the listing before you get your heart set on something.
What you’ll pay for postage
When a seller offers international shipping, they set either one flat worldwide postage price or a separate price for each region they ship to. Buyers in the seller’s own country pay the seller’s standard domestic postage; buyers abroad are charged the rate that applies to their region at checkout. It’s shown clearly before you pay.
Customs is separate
One important reminder: the postage you pay at checkout does not cover any customs or import duties your own country might charge on an international parcel. Those are charged by your country and paid by you on delivery — see our guide on customs and import duties for the details.
Buyer protection still applies
Shopping internationally doesn’t change your buyer protection. The seller’s payment is held securely and isn’t released to them straight away, just as on any other order — and if something goes wrong, you can report a problem from your order.
