I had a case of a US buyer paying immediately for an
auction he'd won, but
the postage specified was for UK delivery and there was a clear instruction
for international buyers to contact me prior to sending payment for postage
costs.
Seconded!! Even when I quoted postage rates on the auction..
I've also received money orders for a quantity of USD equal to the
number of GBP the item sold for - i.e. about half the value, even if I
could cash it for a reasonable price. Oh, and stroppy buyers saying
WHY can't I take a personal cheque (check). Um, coz it costs a
fortune and takes an age to clear foreign cheques! This is after they
win an auction that states all this...
Whilst I can't say I didn't have problems with domestic buyers
occasionally, I'm afraid to say that all the problems with
international buyers were with the US...
However, in about 3000 sales, we managed to keep 100% positive
feedback, but it was hard work at times keeping buyers happy..
