eBay issue

[mid_gen]

First....ebay sucks, haven't used it for years but the interface is still dreadful, even worse when it's in a foreign language....anyway.

Listed an item today, and I've had a zero feedback buy it now with a few hours. International as well even though I am sure I said no international delivery. I assume this is a scam...I'll get payment through paypal, send goods, he'll dispute it, and I lose right?

Can't be arsed with the hassle, can I just tell him to get stuffed?

Cancelled it, the advert definitely only listed delivery to Germany so I cancelled it on the basis there was a problem with the address.

Might stick it on MM, good value for you chaps with the FX rate at the mo

I didn't realise how bad ebay was these days, I haven't sold anything on it for years. Think I'll just punt it on some classifieds somewhere.

This was a few hundred quid, and the zero feedback guy just did a buy-it-now. Honestly it took months of dealing with their customer service to get my account working again...the prospect of dealing with a dispute...meh, cba. He can leave feedback if he wants I ain't sending it....time to move on.

Still can't believe how horrendous the website is....I've lived in China, UK and Germany using that account and it has a habit of randomly redirecting to different country websites and back again, changing languages all the time. Such a load of toss.

I don't see how any of this is an issue with eBay.

You should have listed the item with specific delivery conditions, and specific buyer conditions. Both of which can be set when listing the item. It isn't difficult.

I only listed one delivery option, domestic. I don't know how that equates to saying I will offer international delivery.

Besides, it's not the delivery that's the problem, it's the zero feedback guy with dodgy English trying to scam me.

It takes clicking one tick box when listing to turn off the global shipping programme.

The interface is fine, user error as usual....
Global shipping isn't even automatically selected, you have to select it.
Listed half a dozen items yesterday none had it auto selected.

Obviously quite clear then

Well, quelle surprise eBay have informed me it was a fraudulent account and refunded the charges.

Last time I use that pile of crap anyway, the website is horrendous enough without the scam artists.
