  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
No hes not scamming the buyer will just cancel the order... or he can cancel the order... I wouldn't risk 500 as there is no protection on ebay its my least favorite site to buy things

Don't come crying when the buyer leave you Negative feedback for not honoring the sale. Just because the buyer from Egypt and wants it shipped to NJ doesn't make it a scam. He may be in the US on vacation or have family or friends in NJ that's going to Egypt and can bring it to them. Its no up to you to figure out why they are having it shipped to NJ. You got paid ship it. I would put Signature confirmation on package to prove they got it. Other then that you got your money now ship it.

If you dont ship then technically your the one scamming.

Who me? I made the buyer aware that he will have to wait until weather starts to get better. And I made him aware that he would have to wait up to a month or two. Then he told me he isnt ready for them and he gave me a good review and all. I was planning on throwing In a couple extra things in for his inconvenients. He said it was his fault and he didnt blame me. He said if hes ever ready for them he will call me back and let me know
 
As we're talking about eBay as a whole and not in relation to the fish keeping hobby, I'm moving this to the Lounge.

Actually, I would not be scamming. In my ad it says NO International shipping and no International bidders.. Sure in my case he is not shipping to EGYPT but he is international.. he didn't read the rules.. I prefer negative feedback as opposed to positive feedback and a loss of 500..Also, my ad said, If you have less than 10 feedback email me first.. He did not...

When I email him all he writes it ship it...


What are other peoples experiences????? share your situation or shine in...

Sooooo, are you going to refund the 500 that he paid?
 
Well, I decided,,, I refunded him the money in full.. I informed him that I dont allow international bidders.. It just was not worth risking 500..
I dont have anythign against international .. the problem is it becomes murky water if something goes wrong.. I spent a lot of time on the phone with paypal and ebay.. Like mudfrog said,, ebay protects the buyer..

I just chalk it up as a learnign experience.. We both lose no money just some time..

Thanks for the advice..

thats the right call. If there is a problem the merchant (you) would be the one to take a loss somewhere.
