Upset Ebay Buying Question

[Airenn]

Wait, don't they have to pay first? What does it matter how you give him the code so long as he paid? I'm confused on that.

Two Reasons. 1. If you don't sell often, Paypal holds your money for 21 days or till 3 days after confirmed delivery, whichever is sooner. 2. With me just emailing him the code, he can then turn around and tell ebay he never got it and I lose out on the money + the fact I can't resell the item as the code will be used. If I mail it, I can stick insurance on it so if he pulls any funny business, I can at least get my money back that way.

Oh and the fact if he didn't want to pay for shipping (which was stated as mandatory under the payment information section), he shouldn't have bid. Instead he sniped then emails me immediately with the line "I haven't received my code yet" and pretty much demands I mail it to him since he lives in Canada. I'm giving him till tomorrow to pay and if not i'll just report his 0 feedback ass to ebay as a non paying bidder and second chance it to the next person down.

This is why you don't do international shipping. People get fucking stupid about it. The new buyers are always the worst. I've had a few that threatened to report me because I had the audacity to not ship their item before they paid me.

I didn't know that about the selling things. I refuse to sell with Ebay again. I come here and to Reddit first -- So much easier. I sell for a bit cheaper but I don't lose out on any fees and shit. :D

Yea I posted here first but had no takers on the swag. Grossed about 230 on eBay before shipping and fees but yea. Selling is a pain. And yea I forgot to check the block Canada box for banning international bidders. Was my fault on that.
