Andy

so i set up my paypal, contact the guy (srry i dont really want a sword just an example) and thats it?
also so does that mean shipping to anystate is only 3.00?
because i was "test" ordering fish from some site and shipping was 30$ i think
I just might go crazy and buy more plants cuz im stuck with elodea and anubias here in Colorado
 
It's almost as easy as that. You have to send money to the seller via paypal using his paypal addy. Then he sends your goods. Most hobbiests will ship priority one size us postal service. It's about 4.50$ for smallest package (I think). Just be sure who ever your buying from has good trader points, or selling points, or great feedback.
 
awesome
ill do it after my 3month visit to japan MUAHAHAHAHAH
lol can i buy fish in another country and bring it back? prolly against the law and ruining the system lol
 
The shipping totally depends on what's being shipped. Sometimes shipping will be included and shipping cost varies. Rocks, driftwood will be much higher than a bag of flake food.
 
Fish do not NEED express, I have shipped fish all over the country Priority with no problems.

Usually the seller will tell what shipping for their item is, or say to PM (private message) with a zip code for a quote.

Whether it is legal or not to bring fish back from Japan really depends on the laws of both countries, something I would definitely look into before trying. For just a few fish they may or may not require an import/export license of some sort, which could cost 100's of dollars.

If you are bringing fish back, you could bring me a couple goldfish LOL!!!

Quite alot of sellers on here as well as other forums are hobbyiest so what they're selling is home grown whether plants or fish. It's also a great place to get a huge variety of plants relatively inexpensive. I always look out for folks selling a 'trimming' package. Might be small when you first get them but almost always healthy and usually grow like weeds with proper conditions.
 
lol the only goldfish i would buy is a pearlscale cuz they look cool
i might bother kyryah for a marimo later
maybe ill get dwarf tears or hairgrass but i need to prepare for it
thx all for the help :D
