Made a mistake in listing, buyer has already paid.

In my title it lists 20 cards but I accidentally wrote 22 cards in the auction description. I sent the buyer an email apologizing and asking if they were still okay to buy. I'm a bit worried because I think they are using a forwarding service (buyer is from China but confirmed address is in US). I don't know if they will get my message or even understand it. How should I proceed?

You may want to try re-sending your message with a Chinese translation(Simplified) you can access at google. Don't forget about the time difference so be patient before shipping.

Unfortunately that happens to all of us eventually...Those little typo's. Looking at the listing it shouldn't be a major problem. Your title matches what they actually received. Hopefully they will understand it as just that. An accidental typo. Is 20 considered a complete set or was it just a lot of 20 cards? If they decide to be a upset about the difference you may be able to get away with a small discount in the form of a refund. Just a suggestion.

I did exactly the same thing a couple weeks ago.

The title was correct, the description was incorrect (my mistake was the condition).

I advised the buyer and asked them to let me know if it was a problem. I never heard from them

The good news is that a small percentage of buyers read the description anyway!!!!
