Finger's crossed and wait it out?

[Lollypopzmummy]

OK here goes:
DH listed PSP, bids were at £97, listing ended. Went to send invoice when we realised the buyer is in Germany (no email before listing ended on whether we'd be willing to post outside of Uk or anything) so have sent him a message this evening (through Ebay) stating the p+p costs (from the RM website, estimated well over the weight just in case).

Unfortunately, they buyer also has 0 FB and only joined today, obviously to bid for this item.
Should we be worried at all?
What sort of outcomes should/could be expected?
Thanks in advance x

If you're concerned or he fails in his contracted obligation to pay you can contact ebay with a grievance. Had you listed for those outside UK to contact you for P&P prior to bidding? Usually if the buyer fails to proceed with purchase ebay will allow you to relist free of charge. Read up about this on the ebay site. All the rules are there.

Ebay works on the basis of goodfaith throughout the community, and those who fail to meet this goodfaith are usually not tolerated. But someone who has won something on their first visit may have only been trying the system out! Did they bid more than once on your item??

just send an invoice for the total amount.
send a reminder and then on day 8 file for non payment and get your fees back.

for the future - change your preferences to ' do not allow bids from countries to which I do not post'

Thanks SLM & divedaisy
I did not realise that you could "not allow bids from outside of the UK", (whereabouts is that on the selling page? We missed it completely!)
We sent him a message giving him the different options of postage, so don't want to invoice him and then have him say that he wanted a different type of postage and dispute against us!
Will wait it out, all of our messages are done thorugh Ebay so they should have first hand references if the guy doesn't pay etc.
Will jump straight onto it on day 8, thanks again for the advice x

my ebay - my account - preferences - buyer requirements

Thanks SLM, I'll do that right now thanks
