Sending abroad when I've clearly put UK ONLY

[alltoomuchrightnow]

Have been selling rare, mainly bulky items for my father. Some are still currently listed. On all the heavy/bulky ones.. i have put in bold letters, Post UK only. On some listings it mentions this at least twice! On about 80% of my dad's stuff..I am still getting overseas bidders / winners! So I will honour it as long as they pay for trackable post.. it's their call... they didn't have to bid, it does say UK only. I will not send by less than trackable. So far , winners have been fine about it. But..there's more to come and right now one of the items is really pretty bulky and very very collectable. If winner refuses to pay for trackable (or insurance if needed..still not sure what i'll get for item), and just wants normal airmail, can i refuse to send, and offer to the next person (if that person is UK)? Could that original winner then leave me bad feedback and would i have any comeback on that seeing as my listing states UK..and they are not..

BTW I do send my own items abroad being as are cosmetics, clothes etc so it's easy for me to calculate the postage and costs aren't too high..it's only my dad's stuff i'm weary of, being collectable, bulky and often valuable. Can't people read? I call the shots don't I, regarding how items are sent?

wary argh not weary..though decidedly weary right now!

I'm not sure of the ins and outs of refusing to send, however when you list you can block bids from outside the UK. You can probably update existing listings with this too.

the thing is, I don't mind (so don't really want to block)...I may end up getting more money for my dad that way. But i do mind if they refuse to pay trackable...I put it in larger letters that it's 'UK only' too. They can't miss it.

you need to actually block bidders from abroad, just saying it in the listing doesn't stop them bidding

sigh...... i know.......... you'd think they would read it first though?! do they go by the title alone?

you do not have to offer an untrackable service you can just select the price for international signed for on listing

you can offer just 2nd class signed for in UK and you can offer just international signed for abroad the buyer if postage is in listing the buyer does not get to choose

if you quote postage to spain as £11 for international signed for that is what thy have to pay otherwise they are non paying bidder, there is no room to alter this to £5.70 standard international

as fergoose said you must block overseas bidders or if willing to sell overseas quote postage in listing then there is no discussion
