Ok so I've never sold an item on ebay before but after reading on here how many ppl still want the Mattel Elite scale ring I decided to put it up for sale. The winning buyer has 0 feedback and it says he's in Iraq. It ended 2 hours ago but I'm nervous. I kinda dont want to ship it out of the US but I wasn't aware I had to say that :/ It's my fault here but what should I do? Wait to see if he pays? Even then I'm nervous, it's a big risk. He out bid a bidder in the US and now I wish he hadn't

Never ship until the buyer pays! If they pay you are obligated to ship it out. I think you can cancel if your really want

You have NO choice rather than to ask, and if he says he wants it, he has to have it

U can not send but it will hurt ur eBay account. I would say send him an email and appolgize, saying you made a mistake and wanted to sell to US buyers only b/c shipping is too expensive and that you want to cancel the transaction. Or u can charge him extra for w/e shipping will cost you.
Honestly do w/e u want eBay sucks anyway. When something goes wrong they make u jump through hoops to get a refund. Buyer protection is bs. Selling or buying on eBay is always a risk.

If he hasn't paid, DO NOT SHIP THE ITEM!
It's kind of shady, but you can cancel the transaction if he fails to pay within the allotted time -- or you can refund his money if/once the buyer pays.
Next time, pay attention to the listing options and uncheck international shipping in the shipping options.

I never ship internationally unfortunately. Even to Canada it's a pain in the ass.

As big as the ring is, it will cost more to ship it than the price they paid for the friggin' thing, most likely.

Thanks for the help y'all. I think I'm just gonna re-list it for US only as buy it now and then just email the guy and apologize for canceling on him. I feel bad but he hasn't responded and it just sounds to messy.

I thought about that but my cat nibbled on one I the ropes sooooo lol. Otherwise it's brand new, plus as a fellow collector I'd rather give some lucky buyer a break.

Ropes can be replaced easily. You've got a great item. Good luck reselling, I'd cancel the order too. It's an honest mistake on your part.

If you don't want to ship internationally ALWAYS state the terms within the details section.
My terms are typically always; -Paypal ONLY -Shipping to US Residents ONLY excluding Hawaii and Alaska -Buy It Now - Must Pay Immediately -Auctions - Must be paid withing 24 hours or the item will be relisted/resold
I sold my ESR for $200+ shipping on eBay not too long ago. Paid $160 for it. So I started an auction at $160, and had a buy it now set at $300. After no one bit for a few days I lowered it to $250, then $200, and someone bought it finally. Those things are extremely valuable depending on the shape it's in and if it's complete

As long as the buyer makes payment, it doesn't really matter where he is from. So I don't see what is the big deal here. He bought it from you, so you wait for his payment or send him an invoice. Once he makes payment, ship it out to the address listed which u as the seller should have upon the item being sold.

if he's willing to pay the ridiculous fees to ship to the sandbox then go for it, shipping fees shouldnt cut into your profits. Otherwise, repost for only US buyers
