Again, a buyer from Australia this time, buys items when it clearly states i only ship to Canada/ US. 1.5 kilos, big packet, but the guy seems nice. I ask for $45 and shipping cost me $49, so I'm already out $4.00 on a $60 sale. Then ebays 10%...then paypal fees, $4.97, but this idiot over pays,,,,dosen't pay the invoice, adds $15??? So I send him back $15 trying to keep on his good side, loose money on the exchange, because as we all know the US dollars is still alot stronger than the Can dollar!!! (Well according to paypal it is, so it must be) Only, 80 cents but still. Then I fire up the Hemi to ship it today (he paid this morning), call it 50 cents in gas alone...........the shipping box was $2........we'll not even go into the time it took me to get there because of the poor weather condition. So we have $60 - $4 - $6 - $0.80 - $0.50 - $2 = $46.70....now I paid over $30 for the items I sold, but lets call it $30,,,,so I made $16.70...........now hes just emailed me to tell me that my shipping charges are extreme and he would like to cancel the transaction...its already in the post you $%#&. Thats not what i wrote, but its what i wanted to write. Now we all know im going to get poor dsr from this buyer, even though he'll leave me a +, because he fears getting TRUTHFUL feedback. Now just imagine if he can neg me without recourse??? ITS NOT WORTH IT ANYMORE!!!

...comics...there's probably a reason why you stipulated this in your listings in the first place...follow your own advice...just don't do it!! you're right, its not worth it!

Comics - why haven't you set your buyers preferences to block bids from countries to which to will not ship? You are setting yourself up for these problems if you don't use the tools that eBay provides to protect yourself.

You can't block 0 bidders. eBay doesn't let you. It's not one of the options.



Come See What Else We've Got Up For Auction!

When you find doing what's right hard to do - you've got a problem.

i wish you could block newbies and 0 feedback users or by country, but you can't. i've never had problems with the aussies (so far) but hey if he paid for it and you shipped it, tell him sure, he'll have to wait 3weeks til it arrives, then pay you to send it back and you'll refund the price of auction minus shipping
he'll probably end up keeping it

I've had a pile of Australian buyers and they've always been good about shipping times.... I guess it's because they realize that they live on an ISLAND in the middle of the OCEAN and that everything I send them has to cross half the world to get to them.

For real, I think they have more realistic shipping expectations that other buyers.
