Ebay Woes

[BEAVER.989 10+ year member]

I just sold my bow on Ebay... the winning bidder is from Germany!

He sent me multiple messages asking about shipping to Germany and I repeatedly told him that I would not ship it out of the States (and it's listed as such).

What can I/should I do?

Contact Ebay customer support and request a final value fee credit and relist.

Don't even bother. You clearly stated in your auction that shipping was within the U.S. only right?

then you should have made it to where only people from the US can bid.

This is the first item I have ever placed on Ebay, so this is all new to me. Live 'n learn, I guess. What a bummer.

Had this exact thing happen to me a year ago,so i sold the amp to the next highest bidder and the dude gave me my only negative:verymad:

Relist. Also, do not use the quick and easy selling procedure. There's a longer, more detailed way of doing it. You can select to have bids only count if they are from the US, or where ever you want to ship, so much feedback, etc.

eBay should be pretty cool about it though. Don't leave negative feedback, and he may not either. Would be a ***** to get negative for your first transaction.

Can I do that? Better question... if this happened to you again would you handle it the same way?

Should I just ship it to him and charge him out the a$$ for it? I'm not sure what rights I have, honestly.

This is the message he just sent to me...

Dear beaver.989,

Dont worry..I see you are kind of a rookie..1st time seller@ebay? Normally I wouldnt buy from 1st time sellers because of all the con artists on ebay. Just wrap it up good in a Box..but there is this new cool case I saw at my bow shop last time I wanted to buy..let me check on that again dont worry I will pay via Paypal..when we get the total worked out. RELAX & have a NICE EASTER,

Jerry

At least he's kind of cool about it. Worst case scenario, yuo east another 2 bucks or so to relist, and no feedback.

You can do it and hope he doesn't neg you,since he gave me a negative i would not do it again

just tell him you wont ship overseas, and relist it, ebay will give you a credit for it and you shouldnt be out any cash, if the dudes not an absolute dick, he should understand.

I know its bad to say this, but ive use the excuse that i dropped the item and it broke before so i could refund and not have to ship.

I always type in really big letters "I ONLY SHIP TO THE US!!!!!"

I hate those people who bid anyway. =[
