Buyer has item but won't pay.

I stupidly sent off the item before the buyer had payed.

Now I've had to start an unpayed item case. If the buyer still refuses to pay, how's it going to pan out? Will I lose the item and my money ($455.00)?

You have their name and address, worst case scenario report them online to the internet fraud guys (based in Qld., but it is Australia wide reporting)

Hopefully that could help.


You will at least get your final value fees back with the unpaid item case, not much consolation I know.

How is OP going to prove that the buyer has the item though? The buyer could just simply now say that they never received it 

[jbd73]

Yeah, I guess so... AustPost's tracking states that it's delivered though, for what it's worrth.

[jbd73]

Thanks for that. Buyer is in QLD so perhaps they'll take a bit of notice.

[ajarnjenny]

Isn't the tracking delivery confirmation all you need?

Ohhhh, poor you.

[zelly888]

Good luck and come back and let us know how it all went

[jbd73]

I do hope so! I'm feeling pretty poor me at the minute...

[zelly888]

I thought it would be but it just sounds as if this buyer is about to scam OP.

[jbd73]

I will, thanks all.
