Question 1

Can you auction for items on eBay on my behalf?

Accepted Answer

We don’t place auction bids or bid on items for customers—but if the item has a Buy It Now option, we’ve got you.

Just submit a BuyForMe request on the BFM Order form as usual, and under Other Instructions, let us know to use the “Buy It Now” purchase option. You can also include promo codes or seller notes if needed.

Question 2

Can I return a package that I have already received? And do an international return?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can return eligible items, whether you:

Purchased directly from a U.S. merchant, or

Ordered through our BuyForMe service

You can return items from your U.S. Address or from your home country, depending on the situation.

If your package is still at your U.S. Address, we can help you return it directly to the merchant from there—no need to ship it home to yourself first. Learn more here:

❌ Some items (like liquids, perishables, or restricted goods) may not be eligible for international returns. We’ll confirm this during the return request process.

If You Bought Directly from the Merchant

1.Check the merchant’s return policy

Before starting a return, check:

Is the item returnable?

How refunds are issued—store credit or original payment?

Is there a returns window (typically 15–60 days)?

Note: International shipping back to the merchant can take 7–10 business days.

2.Get the necessary documents from the merchant

A commercial invoice

A return label

An RMA number (return authorization), if required

⚠️ For some returns, the merchant won’t offer a prepaid label. That means you will be responsible for any domestic U.S. shipping costs in addition to the international return fee.

3.Email us

Let us know which item(s) you want to return. We’ll:

Review the merchant’s return policy

Send you a quote for international return shipping

Include a returns admin fee in the quote

4.Choose your return method: 2 options

Question 3

How do I estimate international shipping weight for delivery time and cost?

Accepted Answer

We can only calculate your final shipping cost once your packages arrive at your U.S. address and have been weighed.

But to get a rough estimate:

Refer to our Rates Table below

Use the Shipping Calculator on our home page

Check your item’s dimensions or ask the merchant if it’s a bulky product

📦 Don’t forget to factor in fuel surcharge, insurance, and other applicable fees.

For large or unusual items, we recommend contacting the merchant directly to get estimated package dimensions.
