eBay question (yup...again)

Gustov · 12 Dec 2016 at 12:38

Hey guys,

So I have listed a jacket and specifically opted out of international postage when listing it. (I simply cba with the hassle)

Now some guy from Japan with 1 feedback has gone and put a bid on it.

Simple question really. WTF?

Can he retract his bid? How is he even allowed to bid? If nobody else bids, will I be charged selling fees as per normal?

Thanks in advance.

have you set your buyer restrictions and postage restrictions properly,

i think if this is done correctly only uk bidders can bid/buy

you can also cancel his bid if needed http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?CancelBidShow

Did you just opt out of "ebay global shipping" (the service where you pay a local delivery fee and they then onward distribute globally for you) or did you actually set ship to "uk only" as well?

The options are as below:

Send your package to the UK Shipping Centre and the rest will be taken care of for you.

Create your own international postage option

No international postage

I selected 'No international postage'

I can't see any other option?

EDIT - So I've removed his bid and gone back in to revise the item to look for an additional delivery options. Can't see any aside from what I've previously selected.

Might he be in Japan but with shipping address in the UK?
