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.0 -
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.0 -
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?0
