Stupid overseas buyer expect to pay UK postage rates.

carrie483

The thing i found about overseas people is that they seem to be cottoning on to the fact that if we send it normal airmail then we can't prove delivery and therefore they then file a complaint. This si the reason why i only send airsure or signed for.

we can prove we sent it and make a claim with royal mail if we have to.

Drive home? Yeah right! I guess that there are people everywhere that are either slightly thick or have blonde days - I know I often have blonde days and either do or say stupid things!

An Update: I haven't directly sworn at anyone for maybe the last five years but I think that may change.
I sent her an invoice and she has completely ignored it and paid me again this time with her own postage of £4.72! down 2p from her last one.
I sent her a refund again and suggested she pay the correct amount.
All this for a £13 blouse (brand new) that she has got for £1.24.

You need to tick the option on your eBay preferences to make sure they can't change the amount on the invoices.

I also clicked the wrong button - so you have a "FREE" thankyou. Something to cheer you up? lol. :rotfl:

My preferences have been set up but for some reason if you haven't added the international postage costs to your listings the invoice can be tampered with.
Thanks for the thanks!!

Actually its only 44p more to send a 500g parcel to the US via Surface mail (as a small packet) than it is to send it normal letter post in the UK!

But with surface mail it could take a few weeks to get there!

With surface mail and paypal it is quite likely that the buyer will put in a protective claim within the 45 days in case their item doesn't arrive. That's why I won't ship my overseas items surface mail.

Of course we haven't had UK buyers acting dumb have we ? I've worked in the US and deal with them regularly and intelligent Yanks are like intelligent Brits - ask the man on the 59 bus / middtown subway an opinion and you will likely get an incoherent answer - its just that we have many cultures suitting on our doorstep (literally sometimes) and know that Paris is the capital of France. They can't survive as a nation without being good at something productive in the long-run.

Some Yanks may even have passports but why bother when you have a continent to explore ?

However I still have a US postal order waiting to cash from a seller who assumed I could cash them "at ANY US Post Office" ...

Hey it wasn't meant to offend anybody it was a joke most of the british public cant find iran on the map or know the difference between hong kong and Japan.

I would love to go to america but i don't think it will happen. If it wernt for america we would be speaking German, never have mr bush to laugh at and we wouldn't be able to enjoy that Fasle superior feeling we have.

Is she not even saying anything about paying the wrong amount. You would of thought that when you refunded them the first time they wouldnt do it again!

Have you emailed her to tell her to pay the correct amount? How much extra are you adding onto the postage to send it international?
