I sold my gucci shoes to a buyer in UK and shipped it in a timely manner the next day.
They contacted in a week saying that they need to pay 20 pounds in customs to their country. They also said that upon refusal they will reject package and claim money back with paypal.
I called paypal and they confirmed that even if the tracking shows attempted delivery, if the last tracking does not show delivered then a full refund will be forced out of my account.
It leaves me with loss on delivery both ways (62*2=124cad) and commissions (40cad). Not even sure I get back my package.
Are we actually that vulnerable to such an extortion? That is simply sad. I don’t think anybody will ship international after such a burn, never again!
