    The auction has closed & the buyer has paid with paypal

  • Email the buyer, make sure they are aware of what is / is not included in the sale. If they are okay with it, all well and good. If not, go to the details of the paypal transaction and refund the payment (the fees will also be refunded); Open a non paying bidder dispute; the buyer will be asked to confirm non payment and you can then both mutually agree not to proceed with the purchase - the buyer doesn't get a strike against them and you get your Final Selling fees back.

    Alternatively, send the item then sit on tender hooks for days waiting for the buyer to cause a stink.

    On my other auction someone has asked me whether the memory cards are included and i have answered really clearly to say that they aren't so it should be clearer on the next auction.

  • I wouldn't tempt trouble. Just leave it and don't email him. If he/she does dispute it when he receives it, then cross that bridge when you come to it. Meanwhile, instill some confidence in your buyer and keep him informed alllll the way through the transaction. That way, he/she is more likely to get in contact with you straight away if there's a problem.

    I think the item description was descriptive enough and am confident that the guy got a good deal so will post it tomorrow....

    LOL- After a little detective work, i see where you are coming from. But then again, we are in it for the profit, so why not?

    Rachie, i assume you have been advised to not link to your auctions, i think this is wise advice. ;)
