So did you think they wouldn't pay or couldn't afford it, maybe both or something else. If I am short on cash and need to wait until payday I email the seller (before bidding).

Your selling skills are really good carly. You are asked if you can wait a week to be paid and respond by canceling the bid.

I will admit one of my pet peeves is the ebay mobile thing because it often means the seller does not put much information in their personal description or leaves out information that might be important.


 


Whilst I understand the OP has the listing set to Australia only, would it really hurt to put an extra line in the description such as SORRY NO OVERSEAS SHIPPING (bids?).  This is something I do regardless of ebay settings just in case of a technical error or any confusion.

Additionally, the seller could have added something to their description about when they expect payment eg within 3, 5 or 7 days of item ending etc

I get requests from overseas as well, surely block them if you create a listing and do not want to do international. Is it possible to block Tasmanian buyers?

Nothing really (lol), I am just being an idiot. I was curious if it is possible to restrict buyers to a particular postcode.
