I am so sick of being dicked around by buyers you can't then leave negative feedback for.
i don't sell a lot on eBay, just the good quality clothes and toys my kids grow out of. I make it really clear on my item descriptions that only buyers prepared to pay promptly should bid and unpaid item cases will be opened for all non payers. I also state the packed weight and dimensions of toys so everyone has clear expectations and I ask international buyers to contact me for postage costs.
So, this time.......I have a winning bidder in Ireland who didn't contact me to ask for postage costs before bidding and who has now decided they don't want the item because it costs too much to post and they could buy it cheaper new locally. I have only added 20p to the actual postage cost to cover the packing materials so it's not as if I am charging over the odds.
I don't feel that it's my problem, they shouldn't have bid so much if they could buy cheaper new from a shop. So I have declined to cancel the order and will go down the unpaid item route much to the buyers dismay.
Am I being harsh or should I stick to my guns to make sure flaky buyers like this get the feedback/unpaid item strikes they deserve and stop messing everyone about?
