    It would seem then that it wasn't a fraud attempt, less he would have agreed to the postage costs.

    With American buyers you have to assume they hace cocked up so always best to ensure that you have contacted them to ensure they:-

    a) Realise UK is not part of the US
    b) It's pounds sterling and not US dollars
    c) Item will take a few days longer to arrive.

    Hintza, you have hit the nail on the head - I hate American buyers that order me to convert £ into $ - have they never heard of currency converters?! grrrr!

    Also - to the OP, if you do post (for whatever reason!) remember PayPal require a valid tracking number - typically from Royal Mail Airsure or you automatically have no seller protection.

    Thanks for all your help.
    I have now started the process with ebay to get my fees back, I also offered a 2nd chance offer but it wasn't taken up. Can I relist now without the risk of interfering with getting my fees back?
