I put an used ipad for sale to Australia only. A guy in US bought. Can I cancel the deal?

lol if COD is "universally" understood as a particular thing, then why on earth do so many sellers use it to mean cash on pick up.

First sentence - agreed.  Second sentence - well...yes your opinion, but my opinion disagreed.  So we'll agree to disagree, OK!!

I suggest you read Cats response above.  You may be as thick as two shorts planks, but just think that if a seller selects NO INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE, why would they consider they had to go elsewhere to put BLOCKS into place.  IMO makes a bit of a mockery of the site set up...are there any indicators to suggest a seller may need to go there.  Short answer NOT.

I understand the COD bit, so do most people, but sometimes the little brain cells do not click in the right way, and COD can mean COPU to some.  Minor infringement as far as I am concerned.  And don't forget PayPal was in there.  Much more important for an O/S buyer.

In so far as following eBays rules, OP did follow them - selected POSTS to Australia - did not select any INTERNATIONAL OPTION, so I'm sorry but I will not accept  that OP broke any rules.  Here I can see that we will continue to disagree, so best left alone.

And I sincerely hope OP gets out this with either a very good sale to the US, or a mutual cancellation once they get the postage cost, and none of these stupid defects.

And of course the site map is as useless as ..... insert preferred pun here ....

So even if you looked up the site map - international trading policy you would get the following advice- nothing about preference blocks though it is mentioned under other policies on the site map, you could go blind by reading the repetative, frequently contrary "rules"

eBay can't even adequately update the site map to keep up with their own changes, yet sellers are expected to know which rules to follow ??

"If you, as a seller in Australia, list items that may not be allowed in all countries,you may help ensure compliance with applicable laws and/or eBay policies by following these listing practices:

• If you don't want to post your items overseas, don't select the "International postage" option when creating your listing

• Include a clause in the item description describing any limitations on the items. For example, “No postage to the United Kingdom or Germany.” This is particularly helpful if the item(s) are prohibited in only certain countries"

• If you don't want to post your items overseas, don't select the "International postage" option when creating your listing.

  CASE CLOSED...!!!
