*yawn*

Apartment break-in update, mild ranting, and gushing over awesome on-site cable technicians in [livejournal.com profile] mandichaos.

Other than that.. not much to report. Can any experienced eBayers help me with winning bidders from outside the US who ignored the "Will ship to US only" notes on my auctions?

Ugh. People should really check into this stuff before they bid. Or at least email you to ask if it's okay first. :/

I think you can file them as an "unwanted bidder" and eventually get your fees back, but I believe that the bidder will still be able to leave negative feedback, so that's something to think about. Maybe it'd be less of a hassle to just mail it to them, but charge extra for any additional shipping and packaging charges.

There are a lot of helpful tips in eBay's International Shipping forum

Or, I think you can go to help/contact us/ask about selling/problems with buyers/buyer violated listing terms and ask the eBay help people.

Good luck!

Thanks! Turns out one of the bidders has a US address for me to ship to (thank goodness) and is willing to pay by money order. The other one's trying to see if a friend in the US would let me ship to them instead. :)

So it's all good...
