Need advice on ebay, can anyone help?

[sotonseagull]

Hi there, I've been selling a few things on e bay recently. One of those things is my old Nintendo game cube.

This is the second time I've listed it because this guy keeps bidding for it and winning. In the Ad I clearly state that I only post within the UK - He is from Berlin, Germany.

After explaining it to him that I only do U.K the order was cancelled. I then placed the item back on e bay. However, with the last second of the bidding he has done it again - and I'm feeling very angry at the moment, as to list it is costing £1.70 every time.

All I'm trying to do is make a bit of money and this clown is winding me up - I've tried looking on e bay for help but can't find it!

Does anyone have help or advice for me?! Its needed! It would be very appreciated!

You can add him as a Blocked Bidder, go to account tab/site preferences/buyer requirements then edit and copy his user name in there and he wont be able to bid on anymore of your items

Hi thanks for that - i've now blocked him but what do I do with the item that he's won?

Can I now re-list the item?

Open up a dispute with eBay. You'll easily get both your listing fees back if you have clearly said you will only post to the UK and the winning bidder is from outside the UK. Had a similar problem before Christmas and was all sorted fairly quickly.

how do I do that? sorry pretty new to ebay?

thanks for your help!

On the sold page, at the end of the item details is an arrow with more details on, drop it down and select resolve problem and then I want to cancel. You will then get your final value fees reversed

its easy to work out how much it would cost to ship to Berlin so why not put that in the listing, if he pays by paypal it will convert the euros so no problems there either

What is so difficult about writing a Germany address rather than English one, you can even cut & paste onto a label if necessary, I don't see what the problem is ?
You seem to making extra work for yourself.

Also i think you can offer the item to the second placed bidder.Just contact them and explain what happened and it will save you re listing.

Can I ask why you don't just post to Germany? Sounds like he is willing to pay more than the UK bidders, it's not like he is from Nigeria or anything.

Have a look around you.

just for the reason that I dont! Not a hard thing to read and respect is it?
The guy knows very clearly that I will not post - trying to wind me up, theres no other reason as I've already told him once.

God help us if anyone mentions the War.

Can we mention a World Cup then instead?

 

[sotonseagull]

well I can't be doing with the bollocks. The item sold for £38.00 - I just use royal mail, its quick and simple! which he knows as I've told him before but he's requested that I use Fedex uk - has in the first instance the won and gave me his account number - so I dont really know what I'm doing in regard to that!

But when the item description says in big, bold red lettering I ONLY POST WITHIN THE UK - is that so hard to understand?! This isn't a business for me, just want to get rid of a few things and make a little pocket money?!

Good idea. Our impressive World Cup record TOWERS over anything the Germans have managed.
