ANOTHER! overseas ebay plonker

[Rick]

bidding ended on a headlining i have,

 

the buyer is someone abroad and kindly added his own shipping cost (as i hadnt listed one) of £5

 

im trying to explain that its gonna be £15 but he wont have it the plonker hes saying no... iv already paid now bla bla

 

who's he think hes kidding?

[Paul F]

surely that's just completely ridiculous!

[Vista]

I assume he's paid via paypal so just refund his money via paypal then send him an invoice for the correct amount.

[Rick]

ye iv done that now, bet he wont pay now... agrhhh

[antz]

its annoying when they do that.

 

i specify that they must get in touch first before bidding and one guy didnt so i made up a postage figure. he paid andw as happy with the item.

 

another auction i said i wud only post to ireland and a guy in italy just decided to bid!..luckily he was outbid

[Rick]

Hello,

 

I understand your problem.

But I can not help it.

I told you before that I payed you already as it says in the instructions.

I think that it is not my problem.

I won the object as described.

(If I had won it for lets say 5 pound you should send it also.)

So please send me the object, and I advise you to check the cost for postage before you advertise the next time.

 

hes trying to get me to post it abroad for UK postage rate...

 

what a tinker lol.

add hjim to your ebay blocked bidders list in case he tries it on with your items

[Vista]

Did it say you would post abroad? or make it clear anywhere that postage rate quoted was for UK only?

 

I'd just open an eBay dispute and let him pick the bones out of that, then you can either relist it or offer it to the 2nd highest bidder.

[Rick]

there was only uk postage listed no overseas.

 

iv offered it to sum1 else.

 

bargain at £15!!

[Rick]

yes! another ebay problem

 

i guy in belgium buys my diff without enquiring about postage.

 

iv invoiced him.... 'o its a bit expensive i dont know if i can pay that'

 

FOR FOOK SAKE!!!

[Vista]

And people over seas complain about us saying UK only

[negri]

ebay gets on my tits !!!!

 

you should only be able to bid if you have that amount in your bank account

 

pay pal should then take more responsibility in proccessing the money and trying to help geniune ebayers .

 

 

with the fees that ebay and paypal charge its a joke .

[CéDriC]

always asking for delivery chage before bidding, if only for Uk i ask to seller if accept to sold it to abroad, and what's the delivery charge...

 

Last defeat, i've ask for delivery charge have the answer, so i bid, any other bid on it, seller erase my bid before the end, i'm suppose to bid on it with asking for delivery....

 

For seller or buyer, it's way hard...

[60ftman]

I've got instructions on all of my ebay listings that says:

 

'International bidders please email for shipping costs BEFORE bidding'

 

But virtually no-one does.

 

I had a 'buyer' bid on an item that weighs in at over 30kg, and won it for £15.

 

"I'm in Aus" they said (after winning the item).

 

"Ah" I said, "that will be £78 for shipping" (Checked with the PO and that was the absolute cheapest I could do it)

 

"It won't cost that" say the bidder, "You're trying to rip me off"

 

So I checked with the PO again, and even split the item and weighed the two halves.

 

£78 complete, or two lots of £42.

 

"I've checked" says the bidder "and it will only cost £25"

 

"Bu**er me you sheep sha**ing b*st*rd" says I, "I couldn't send it INSIDE the UK for that. let alone Aus!"

 

I also asked him if he had any family in the UK I could deliver it to, and they could send it to him for £25 (or hand carry it on a visit) and he said no. I bent over backwards for the cheatingatcricketandrugbydescendedfromaburglar b*st*rd but to no avail.

 

Still convinced I was ripping him off, he left me negative feedback.

 

They deserve the funnel-web I reckon

[Rick]

lmao, iv suggested he arrange his own courier then or pay up.

 

he better

[capriclive]

ive blocked overseas bidders on my stuff. had too much hassle in the past.

[Rick]

how u do that

[alladdin]

the items that i listed recently appear to have gone on as worldwide. i knon i didnt offer that !! is that what happened or did you list as abroad?

its ok small items via post but anything big is silly money.

[Cookie]

I just block all bids from overseas now, its more hassle than its worth.

 

Just sold all my ebay stock items as a job lot, bloke collected this morning, so fooked off with the knob ends on there i cant handle the stress anymore, people think that they can talk to you like shit and blatantly lye through there teeth because its by email

 

Fooks me off and you can't thump em from a keyboard, that's the most frustrating, even after you do everything humanly possible to do the 'right' thing to keep em happy!

 

it's no good, gotta stay away from ebay for a bit

[Rick]

i cant believe my misfortune

 

winning bidder on my capri struts is a zero feedbacker from portugal...

 

i wonder if hel pay the giant shipping costs

[over_head_cam]

Just send him some dogsh1t in an envelope

[Rick]

thats the best idea iv ever heard ... as above. i may just sell the lot in one go abd be done with the rechid site.

 

they really should try harder to stop arseholes bidding
