Buyer Location United States, address is Cyprus - likelyhood he will pay? (cash on collection(car))

[LadyOfScoffleTheEasterEggs]

DHs car just sold on Ebay (pittance but anyway) and the winner has a feedback of 2 (from June 08) and has a location of United States, when I sent his invoice just now it said Cyprus. Car is cash on collection. Last time we sold a car on ebay we got pissed around

Can you not cancel the sale based on the account's address, they can't be honestly traveling over, maybe they have hijacked someone's ebay account.

Could you check with Ebay that they are a genuine buyer ?

I don't know how I can... I did stipulate cash on collection within 7 days so I guess see how it goes and make one of the others a 2nd chance offer. I had a message too from a guy in Germany who said "when it doesn't sell I would like to buy" etc etc. WHY do they do this?

Hope someone turns up and pays in cash.

Just to be positive. We sold a car on ebay, to someone in Poland. They did turn up and paid no problem.
