Using Ping from Australia

Hi Damon. Yes, you can use ping from Australia. As explained in this previous post. There are no fees to use ping as a buyer, only as a seller. I guess there is a possibility you will be charged some kind of currency conversion fee via your bank as a foreign currency transaction. You'd have to confirm that with your bank.

Thank you Callum. The problem we ran into was that the delivery cost had to be worked out after the sale, but if I was to pay using Ping I could only pay the Sale price without delivery. The seller could not work out how to add the delivery cost to the total after the sale, so I could not use Ping. How do you amend the sale price after a sale to include delivery?

The shipping can't be added after the sale if you want to use Ping. Only way is to either ask the seller to add it before you buy, or if you find an obliging seller they will either add a new listing just for the shipping, or relist just for you with a shipping rate to choose. Either option is a 2 min job.
