Revising my listing, help please

lynnemcf

I'm a newbie to ebay and I am selling a bit of computer hardware. I have received an enquiry from Italy, and realized I ticked the "ship worldwide" box while doing my listing. I dont want to ship outside the UK. What I am selling costs less than £20 new so I dont expect to get much for it. It needs mains electricity. I have received one bid and so I cant alter the listing I can only cancel it. Would it be breaking ebay rules to say I wont ship to Italy, or should I quote an outrageous postage cost (I looked postage up online, will cost £8 airmail plus £3 so it gets signed for).

if there are no bids, you can revise the postage terms,
i'm not sure if you can cancel all bids then revise postage, i dont think you can

also, the £3 postage ISNT PROOF OF DELIVERY,
you need the £4.50 extra AIRSURE option, that is the only thing suitable for paypal

Hi, where is the bidder located?

if it is uk then explain that you have had a few enquiries abroad and want to take it off the listing to disable international bidders (they really are more trouble then they are worth). Cancel their bid and revise the listing to switch the worldwide to UK only! then tell them to bid again! this may not work but saves hassle!

or just do what bleugh said!

the postage quotes are usually for UK standard only so they would probably expect to pay a bit more for postage...plus if it something they can't get in their country then they may pay more!!


.......slightly contradicted post sorry!!

I mean that when you list an item then thats what it says in the postage box unless you specify the international rate.....does that make sense?
