How to charge postage after the item was paid?

[jasonyang696]

Hi,

My item was set as "local pick up".  Buyer clicked "buy it now" and paid instantly. Now buyer want me to post the item. I would like to post, but how can I charge the postage? Thank you very much.

go to your sold item, use dropdown menu & send invoice with postage included

In the likely event that twyngwn's advice gets no traction, cancel the sale using 'problem with buyer's address', block the 'buyer and relist.

-Make sure you pack it really well to avoid damage in transit.
-Also make sure you post it over the counter at the PO to get a receipt that includes the tracking number. 
-Make sure you update eBay with the tracking number.

******IF for any reason, the buyer claims ‘item not received’, come back here first before you do anything…. Ok! 
(I’ve got a bad feeling about this one!😞)

Good luck! 🙏

As far as I' m aware, unless something has changed, you can't send an invoice after the buyer has paid.

hmm..yes....OP might have to send a Paypal request or have buyer credit bank a/c for postage

When this occurs, I list an new item for postage only and alert the buyer.
