i havea bit of a dilema

[carly2579]

ok  as you can see  im selling a collectible  pokermon dvd and i have a buyer  with 2 feedback   from nz bidding and have now  messaged me saying  that they cant pay until next wensday  if they  win  after a  unexpected bill  my  red flags are  up  should they be?

I sold a book today for $10 all up, BIN. The buyer said they can't pay until Tuesday. I said "fine".

No skin off my nose if they eventually don't pay. A few clicks sorts it out and I relist.

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

The Tas bit made me smile ... you can't block by postcode, but I wish I could (for certain listings) as the cost for postage is reasonable up and down the eastcoast for some larger products, but astronomical when posting to WA, NT or Tas.  I know the postage calculator can deal with this, but some buyers don't really bother with it .. I would rather list to Vic, NSW, Qld only on my larger things. 

If you could get even more intricate eg:  express to WA,  that would avoid some confusion too!  Although I communicate and tell buyers that express is not guaranteed overnight, especially not from regional Qld to WA I get the impression most people still kind of believe it should be!

Yup an unpaid stock item of $10 cost you 0.5c 

My most recent unpaid item cost me $2.00 - and took a higher priced item ($89) that I would much prefer to have visible to other buyers, out of circulation for 9 days, as I don't run a relative lot of listings on this ID.

Poor ole Tassie, even gets left of the map!!!  :^O

 I was actually born & grew up there , this is actually my second head thinking of and typing this post lmao ( I am allowed to say this cos I am a Tasmanian) !!! Arguments are interesting hahahah

That's eBay. I can only relate my own viewpoint. And it will cost me nothing really as I will (if necessary) relist on the day the book would have relisted.

I do run auctions, but I make sure they list in the first couple of days of the month, when I get the free listings appertaining to my store.

well it ended for 126  dollars not excluding postage so im happy with that:-D

Whats wrong with Tasmanian buyers?

Nothing, they make good typists with all their extra fingers.

Maybe your original bidder isn't happy and can't understand why you've treated him badly carly.

BTW is Norfolk Island international or local?

I have never had a buyer from Norfolk but doesn't most of its supplies go by boat so it could take a long time for an item to get to the buyer.

When you fly to Norfolk Island you depart from the international terminal in Sydney.
