Members AtomHeartMother Posted April 26, 2005 Members Share Posted April 26, 2005 As a policy I block international bidders as it can be a pain in the ass to ship abroad. However, I have a bidder in Australia who wants to bid on my pickup. He says that I would just ship it to family members in MN instead. Would it be a bad idea to do this? Also, would I get hit with more Paypal fees from Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jgk62 Posted April 26, 2005 Members Share Posted April 26, 2005 I recently sold a pickup to someone in Germany and they had me ship it to a friend in New Jersey, which worked out for me. I don't see it as being a problem. I probably wouldnt do it with an expensive item but it was just a pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dougy Posted April 26, 2005 Members Share Posted April 26, 2005 I sold a guitar on ebay to a guy in Finland. He arranged for TNT to pick it up from my house, ship it to his workplace and he paid the delivery charges when he recieved the item. I didn't even have to take it to the Post Office or anything!Which doesn't help you at all, but it's a nice story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BootRoots Posted April 26, 2005 Members Share Posted April 26, 2005 FWIW: The most common scam out there is for an internation buyer to contact someone and tell them they have someone stateside that will ship it for them. usually they send a bad bank check or some other bogus form of payment. by the your bank rejects it, your item is long gone. I'm just sayin' seller beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
