Chinese buyer ?

An item I was selling on eBay specifically had postage to UK only and GSP turned off on the listing, but I’ve had a Chinese buyer purchase it and not sure how?

I don’t want to post to China.

He’s bought but not paid.

What’s best way to proceed?

    Go through the motions of sending an invoice, he might have a UK shipping address.
    There are lots of Chines buyers now buying up retro, antiques, collectibles, I get several a month. Some do go through GSP for me but also many go through a third party shipper, usually a storage facility near an airport.

    As a seller you need to show receipt at the storage facility only to win an INR and if it is then forwarded on , buyer loses buyer protection for an SNAD.

  • What happens if I issue an invoice and it’s a Chinese address?

    I didn’t have GSP switched on.

    Just start the process and if a Chinese address comes up don't send the invoice but come back and let us know.
