Hi All,Another problem with an ebayer..I will make this short.i sold a part on ebay--the winning bidder is over in norway,my listing states that i would ship worldwide,so i send them the invoice with the shipping.they email me back telling me that i can ship the part for 12.95 flat rite box..but my listing states international l priority mail only[shipping would be 29.??]]..So my question is do i have to sell to this guy??[[I think hes going to be a problem] could i just move on to the next winning bidder?? thanks mikey
What Would You Do About This Ebayer
Mikey. if you are able to ship it in a flat rate box, but your sale does state 1st class international mail that may give you a leg to stand on, but he can leave negative feedback on you, and you can't on him, also as this is a binding legal contract, he has full recourse and feebay will possibly side with him, I have been in your same shoes and it sucks, hey here's a suggestion deal with only english speaking countries, they seem to understand better, man i feel your pain, good luck, mark Hmmmm
Ebay is full of jerk buyers and the stupid feedback policy changes have empowered them to be idiots and extort sellers for whatever terms they want to try to force on you ... you are at the buyers mercy.
Follow the golden rule... treat the buyer the way you would want to be treated. If you do that and he still hits you with negative feedback... well... it will clear in a year.

If you have it listed as Priority Mail Int'l (which is the cheapest service to use and get insurance) for overseas, they agree to everything that is said. I put a disclaimer on my auction that says basically if you agree to bid and win, you agree to the shipping listed. Period. Tell him that's what's listed and if he doesn't pay as you listed, you will report him to Ebay for being fraudulent, take a chance. If you listed the shipping as such, and he willingly bid on it, they have no leg to stand on.
Jim, and backbeat keeper, you are both correct, and I think we all agree feebay SUCKS!!!!, the one sided feedback system does empower the buyer, lets of course try to use this VDF as much as possible,,
Here's a link to an item I'm selling. Although it's very long to read the rest of the auction...it helps with the troublemakers....
