Trader & Shipping Support / International buyer weirdness
« on: November 05, 2013, 09:05:47 PM »
Ok, I have a pony listed on eBay, and I'm asking quite a bit for it, because honestly if I can't get that much out of it I'll just hang on to it. One bid has been placed on it, and it's a buyer in France. I am in the US. My starting bid price is $65, she sent me this message:
I don't even know what global price is. I looked up shipping to France, and with insurance and tracking on the pony shipping was going to be like $79.99, unless I looked in the wrong place, so I sent that information back to her, and received this
I understand there's a language barrier, but am I wrong, or is she asking me to close the auction early and sell her this pony WITH shipping for $79.99? I feel weird about the whole thing, and I feel like I'm being scammed. If I didn't need the cash, I wouldn't be selling the pony, and I really don't want to be without either one because I didn't listen to my gut feeling. I'm going to call eBay when their customer service line opens and see what they say too, but does anyone have any advice about what I can do? Can I cancel her bid? At this point I'm ready to chuck the pony back on my shelf and forget about it.
