To let someone pay too much

[Bouncingbelle]

Utterly skint at mo so maybe this seems a bigger deal to me than others. Put a mini rucksack up for sale on ebay and its sold, for £5 more than you can buy one new. I thought it was obvious from the photos it was a mini one and i described it as being for toddlers. I just feel really guilty and that i should tell the purchaser? Am i being daft?

You're being daft. So long as your description was clear, which it sounds like it was, then it's up to the buyer what they're willing to bid for it.

As long as you have described it accurately with measurements or clearly stated it's a mini size you should be ok.

Just make sure you send it tracked so if they're unimpressed they can't just say they never got it.

I sold some toys r us pots and pans. They sold for more than they were new in the website.

My feeling is that they had all the information they needed to find that out for themselves.

They've done this willingly, you haven't forced them into it. Don't worry, just send it.

If your listing was absolutely clear that it was a toddler backpack then I really wouldn't worry.

I've occasionally sold people things for more than they cost new because it is the specific colour or some-such that the person is after.

I listed a tumble dryer on a local site clearly stating in the description that it needed a new belt. It was surprising the number of people who simply looked at the title line and wanted to buy it until I reiterated the need for a new part. I ended up simply directing people to read the listing before engaging in further messages.

If you still feel guilty that the buyer cannot read the details for the item they are purchasing then contact them and offer them the chance to withdraw from the sale. Do not agree to lower the price.

No,
their fault for not price checking!

Being daft.
did you put dimensions? Even if not, its described as for a toddler...

Thank you! I said it was the toddler version in both the title and description, and one potential purchaser did message me to check it, so i guess this buyer could have done the same. Delighted as it means i can get a lovely wee pair of shoes for DS guilt free :D
