I just sold a bulk lot of Pokemon cards to a gentleman in Hong Kong, he didnt ask what postage rates would be during the auction or anything like that. When i sent him an invoice saying that to post these cards to Hong Kong would cost GBP 10.00 airmail he replied saying he wasnt willing to pay that?? He said he was looking to pay around GBP 5.00 maximum for airmail?!?! Needless to say i offered him postage of 8.50 (which means i'll lose money) and is the best i can offer (since he is refusing surface mail). Im waiting on his reply now.

 

What the hell though? When you buy something off ebay and the seller offers you a legit postage cost (its understandable to complain if they are charging $5 for one comic inland) you can't just say "i want to pay less" . If i could have it my own way i would have a free of charging post office, but i don't. Argh people like this sure know how to get me riled up. Christo_pull_hair.gif

 

Anyone had anything similar?

Don't sell him the cards then. File a non-paying bidder report, give him negative feedback and relist the cards on ebay. And on your next auction, make it clear that people outside of the UK need to contact you in advance for a shipping quote.

Around 300 cards. Quite a heavy package.

 

Cheers for the advice FFB. im going to see what he says first. If he doesnt accept that then i'll slap him and second chance it.

 

He has to realise that he lives in Hong Kong and i live in UK. I posted out 2 cd's to a friend out there and it cost me over a fiver. Post costs in the ukk have gone up recently too frown.gif
