Ebay Question

[GT98]

I sold some stuff on ebay and stated that I only ship to the US and Canada. Well one of my winning bids is from Croitia, and I rather not ship it there because the stupid **** didnt read the auction fully stating that I only ship to the US and Canada. Do I have any recourse besides not shipping it to him. No money has been exchange.

If he doesn't adhere to the stated auction listing, you have every right to refuse to sell to him. I am not sure of the exact procedure, however.

On the other hand, you can simply e-mail him and offer him the option of paying an exorbitant fee for shipping.

Where is Croitia? Is that near Krakozhia?

hehe.. yeah, just tell him you said US and Canada only in the listing because overseas shipping and customs were such a hassle. If he wants to pay through the nose for the extra shipping and wait a couple of months, you should be glad to send it to him.

I know someone who sold an item to someone in Norway. It cost some ridiculous amount to send (something like $300-400) because of customs and overseas shipping of the odd sized package.

Croitia is right next to Croatia... Which is right next to Italy... Krakozhia is quite a long way from here...

I think Utwig will have something to say soon..

Yep... Croatia neighbour also... Positioned between Italy and Croatia if you look at mainland borders. Croatias sea border though is almost exclusively with Italy. Small part of it is with Slovenia, and is undergoing some revisions with claims on territory from both sides. Serves as a nice ground for scrounging election points with the public in both countries. Personally, I think it's a load of crap, and Slovenia should get access to international waters through the gulf in question but politics is politics and has little to do with opinions of common public.
