Buyer tried to buy but eBay won't let him

Apparently a buyer tried to pay for my repair service and messaged me the following message:

 

tried to pay but comes : contact the seller because he does not shipping to your address
Let me know

 

He is located in the US and I do have ships to: Canada, United States

 

Any reason why this would happen?

It is telling me that it won't ship to the US when I look at it too. Did you accidentally exclude it somehow?

Your listing states:

US $20.00
United States
Canada Post Expedited Parcel - USA
 
 

 

 

Simply send him an invoice.  That will allow him to pay you.

And if you cannot send an invoice through eBay, go to Paypal and send it through Money--> Request Money which will send him an invoice.

 

Include the eBay transaction number on the PP invoice, and mark the transaction Paid and Shipped manually on eBay when those actions are completed.

I think the seller won't be able to send an invoice, because the buyer did *not* purchase it yet. You could tell the buyer to log on eBay.ca and commit to buy. Then - and only then - you will be able to send an invoice.

 

OR

 

You could add "Best Offer" to your listing (just for this buyer*) and ask him to send an offer of one penny below your asking price. You then accept it and send the invoice.

 

 

* once the buyer has paid, go back to your listing and delete the BO part.
