If eBay don't sort this out and buyer pays you elsewhere.....it's eBay's loss (you'll save fees on $65 postage) 🙄

Agreed. If the buyer feels comfortable with that (Even thought they confirm they paid $65 less, I still feel me asking for money outside of the sale has scammer vibes which I definately am NOT... I will see what he thinks. 

take it & run, lol......if anything ever happens (which I doubt) refer eBay to this thread and their incompetence....you have tried to sort it, now their problem!!

I'd be more concerned about the fact most of your items you're not making any money on, and some you're actually losing money. What is the point?

Are you sure the total sale according to eBay was $500?

 

Or, as is likely, was your payment, less eBay fees, $500?
