OT: Need help from Ebay Sellers

[ceecee]

I sold something on Ebay for $120.00. The person has 0 feedback and is unverified and has an unconfirmed address with Paypal (she has paid) What do you suggest? Do I accept it or not? TIA

I think everyone has to start somewhere. What you can do when you ship is absorb the cost ($3.20) of insurance for $120 which, being a numbered article, has to be signed for before the Post Office will release it. Also, you contracted to sell the item and if you back out you may have earned a negative.

Very well stated.

If they paid, you need to fulfill your end of the contract. Give her a positive feedback and she'll be on her way, ebaying that is...... good luck!

I would NOT ship to an unconfirmed address for such an expensive item (for a 5 to 15 buck item, yes), especially with no feedback. This person could receive the item you shipped and tell Paypal they didn't receive it, and have the charge reversed. I would tell the buyer that they need to confirm their address with Paypal immediately, before you ship. I would also insure this item even if you have to insure it out of your own pocket. Better to be out a couple of bucks for insurance than $120 for a charge reversal.

I got a chargeback from Paypal at Christmas and lost $30.00, because I sent to an unconfirmed address I was not covered by the seller's protection. So I was thinking the same thing.

Why not e-mail the buyer and ask her to verify her shipping address?
