Just btw., really thanks for making those cases (just as the clear cases) even for your older stuff; I've ordered them for all my precious Kialaras and very much looking forward to putting them in Grin The suede inside looks positively lovely...

Looks awesome, thanks for sharing MJ!

And also since I've had a couple people ask - these all-gray cases are specifically for the Messengers and Builders (and any future special edition release).

Spoke with eBay, and they've told me that they removed any restrictions from my account, however... I can't add international bidders to these first three auctions since bids have already been placed.

I will make sure international bidders are included in future auctions, and may consider running a couple here on the forum as well.

There might be a workaround for now... by adding a US address to your profile and making it your default address. I'm thinking you could potentially use one of the escrow's addresses here who has a PO Box, etc... OR, I don't see why you couldn't use some sort of Pack/Mail address or random address... and I would verify the shipping info before shipping.

https://community.ebay.com/t5/Buying/eBay-will-not-let-me-bid-on-an-item-out-of-country/td-p/33943064

Again, none of this was intentional and I hope that anyone who wants to can find a way to participate. I've always gone out of my way to work with customers from across the globe.

Thank you all,

Max-

P.S. Congrats to Mopar for sweeping these million sats  Cool  https://twitter.com/KialaraCoin/status/1718369652978716859

haha thanks! I think the other guy was only 5 minutes behind me. Smiley

Oh that explain why I have no issue selling there - funny I can sell there but not buy there lol

When I sell I have them pay me to my Strike account which gets converted to Bitcoin - I had to put the payouts on hold for a few months while Strike had disabled direct deposits but its back on now.

Ok, so it seems the issue is this:

https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/selling/selling-internationally?id=4132
How to sell internationally
Have earned at least 10 feedback points as a seller

So it never even gave me an option to select to allow international bidders. I had just assumed anyone could bid.

I could offer up a handful of satoris or similar at bargain BIN prices to hit that threshold of 10... assuming the buyers would be open to leaving me feedback prior to receiving them.

I did message eBay on twitter/X to ask if anything can be done, but it's the weekend so who knows. They were good about getting back to me a couple days ago via X when I had to verify my account from scratch due to a period of inactivity.

Will dive into this more tomorrow, thanks everyone.



~ and an edit to say thanks for testing it out Honeybadger!

I had no idea there were so many people excluded from participation in eBay auctions.

Ok, I may have fixed the international bidders thing... In my profile settings I unchecked a box that said not to allow bids from people with addresses I don't ship to... so maybe you can still bid and then handle shipping afterwards or maybe MJ can help out there? But I didn't see anywhere specifically to add the int. shipping option.

Here's a newer auction that hasn't jumped in price yet if anyone is wanting to test it out.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/285534477172

I tested it and it didn't not allow me to bid.

I got  the following message:  Unfortunately, this item cannot be shipped to Canada. But don't give up just yet — Opens in new window or tab.find similar items offered by other sellers. (5010) 

I also noticed that they also only show up under ebay.com if i go to ebay.ca i can't even see them.

Can not make a bid - you don't ship internationally. sad.

I had no idea. It was my understanding that eBay offered a service for international bidders... or at least they used to.

I just read:
To be eligible for the eBay International Shipping program, you'll need to meet the following requirements: Above Standard or Top Rated seller performance.

There hasn't been a lot of activity on my account, so this would make sense.

I will attempt to reach out to eBay and see if I can add this... if not, maybe some of you could ask someone in the US to bid on your behalf like MJ? Is that even kosher? I don't know... but I will certainly consider holding a couple auctions here.

In the past, I also gave bidders the option of paying me in BTC, but perhaps that's also not available any longer...

very fancy release, as you know from Kialara, but unfortunately also for me as a eu-citizen unfortunately not accessible.
maybe a few pieces will be sold/auctioned here on the forum - we can hope

I recently ordered and received a full set and I am very happy with them. The main appeal of the Kialara pieces to me are the mechanical features, but in this series, I also like that every avatar is unique.

I was thinking that they should each get a name since they are unique.

Happy to hear that, JohnG! Thank you and maybe once I get this thread going next week you can share yours and the names you've given them Tongue And maybe you can even utilize AI/ChatGPT to name them!

Hello everyone!

As I'm close to catching up with orders, I'd like to provide a brief update. Next week I plan on launching an official Guardians Share, Trade, Buy, and Sell thread. When I started this project, I wanted to create something fun that would help bring camaraderie to the forum here.

I'll send an email to my customer list containing the link, and hopefully many of you will participate by sharing your unique avatars!

so all are unique - very cool.

I am very hopeful everyone will share theirs. I am very interested in seeing them.
