    AAAARRRRGGGHHHHHH just realised that the person who bought my beloved skirt is from another country and I specified UK bidders only! What to do?


    Er, hmm this happened to me once. I decided that if they'd accept liability for anything going missing and pay the extra postage then I'd do it that once
    and it worked out fine :o

    Just been sorting out a few boxes from when we moved house (18 months ago. ..oops) and now have two moving boxes of things I don't want and i'm not sure anyone else will want. I'm not sure if any is worth ebaying so might just wait till bootsale season or CS it.

    My boyfriends parents have invited me on holiday! :D (i presume he will be there too, though i'm not so bothered) They're thinking Egypt, New Orleans or India. I'm hoping India so much.

    OK, will send them an invoice with extra postage and use signed-for service and see what happens. But maybe this is a sign that it is not meant to be and I should keep it? LOL

    I have people from Canada, Germany and Thailand asking me how much postage will be. It's such a long walk to the post office just to find out. And a lot of effort if it just goes for 99p.

    If they message to ask I just write back politely telling them I don't do overseas postage... this person didn't even bother to ask!

    Yep, go into "Site Map" and under "Selling Activities" click on "Manage bidders". You can block buyers who don't live in countries you don't mail to.
    Personally I offer to send all over the world, I send it International Signed For which generally costs £3.50 on top the the normal postage. As a rule of thumb foreign buyers are a lot quicker to pay and more appreciative.
