Hi Guys,

Looking for some input from you guys on a little matter.
I just sold a card on ebay(for us$100) and the buyer is refusing to pay for registered shipping to the US.
He has 750 odd positive feedback, 0 negative and will only pay $5 for regular postage.

Should l accept his terms?

If he paid with PayPal I would do one of two things;
1. If you want the sale accept the $5 and pay registered post (Only costs $12)
2. If your not that fussed refuse to sell unless he pays for registered.

Don't risk that amount non registered no matter what the feedback IMHO

PS - I took option 1 for a $85US card

Agree with Richo! Especially if the 100 was a decent price for it i'd take the 7 loss.
What is the option with leaving feedback as a seller these days? can you do neutral?
people hate getting neutral rather than positive even when I've left some as a buyer

I agree with Richo on option 1, otherwise stand your ground and hopefully you can talk it through. Keep us posted.:v:

Depends what you stated in your auction..... if you didn't say he had to pay registered then not much you can do about it other than pay for it yourself if you want it sent that way.

Agreed, take the loss of the extra 7 bucks and if that is the lesson learned, it was the cheaper option then bouncing back all 105.00

Yep - cover your ass for sure and pay the extra for registered. If you didn't state it in the auction you can't force them to pay it.

Yeah Ming I agree with the guys above if registered wasnt stated in your auction there is not much you can do but pay the extra $7,definately send it registered no matter what to cover your own butt.

Thanks for the advice guys. I will take the option of paying an extra $7 for registered post.
