Quick Ebay question!
Quick Ebay question!
Sorry for yet another Ebay question!
I listed a few bits last night, and have a Q this morning from someone asking if I'd ship a skirt internationally to Malaysia. Now I don't mind doing this as such, but I'm a bit worried that they'd try to pay me by some funny method, because it's not in the UK! Have heard dodgy stories about international bank transfers etc, where you end up paying loads in bank fees. I can't really be doing with all the hassle, I'd rather just use Paypal. SO - if anyone has ever sold anything to an international buyer, what method did they use to pay you?
Oh, and also - why do people make their feedback coments private? The woman who emailed me has 135 feedback, 99.3% of it is positive - but she's made them private! Why do that if they're mostly positive? It's made me a bit suspicious!
Do you think I should tell her that it's UK only? If she wants the skirt, I want her to have it - but I don't want any hassle with it, which is why I want to check if it would be worth it!
Thanks for any help :)
Answers:
I'm not as Ebay knowledgeable as other Baggers but my tuppence
You could always specify that she paid by paypal only, in British pounds and adjust the shipping fee to her destination
ETA: I've bought stuff from abroad and always paid by Paypal in the seller's currency
Malaysia seems a load of hassle though

Thanks Kumquat :) That's a good idea - is that possible? I wasn't sure if Paypal was only available in the UK you see!
Think I'll do that then :)
Answers:
Oh and also, would Malaysia be in the Royal Mail's 'World Zone 1' or 2? How do I find that out?
I bet you she won't even bid on the skirt after all this messing around :lol:
Answers:
Zone 1, add a bit extra for your inconvenience ;)
Paypal is worldwide
