EBay buyers from America?

I put my old PlayStation on eBay yesterday. Now it was bought by someone from the United States. Are there any changes in the shipping costs that the buyer has to bear? After all, the normal DHL shipping costs are something with 6 euro but these (over 5KG) would be considerably more expensive. If not, can I do anything about the buyer having to pay international shipping, for example?

Well, what happened is that I sold on eBay. But earlier, the seller had to state in the auction whether he only ships across Germany, Europe or worldwide. Accordingly, you had to provide postage information.

If you offered worldwide shipping and 6 euro shipping in general without restrictions, the error is yours and you should actually have to pay the additional cost for shipping.

You can kindly ask the buyer if he bears the additional price - I would not do it as a buyer, because you include the specified shipping in your bid price…

I would generally advise you against a "foreign" seller. First of all about the post situation if you should do it. DHL will not send your package because they do not send dangerous goods abroad, only domestically (https://www.dhl.de/content/dam/images/pdf/GK/dhl-infoblatt-gefahrgutversand-012020.pdf). If only UPS would offer you a shipment and this starts with USA, dangerous goods and the weight at a good 25 euro. German and American customs are also added. And you have to state the original price of the goods and, if necessary, pay American tax or the shipping company. On the whole, it is very complex.
Foreign buyers on eBay / - classified ads are mostly fraudsters.

Why does a Playstation fall under dangerous goods?

Due to the battery or the lithium battery in controllers

Attention!

That sounds like fraud! Take a look at eBay.com what it costs there. If similar to your price then it is 100% scam. Is the eBay ID a (0) he?

In this case, PayPal is a very high risk.

Where should the shipping go? Coincidentally to a family member what is in Nigeria right now?

I called Ebay & had it removed afterwards & blocked the whole country.

Cancel purchase.

What does he want in the USA with our 230 volt devices & other plugs. They have 110 volts & 50 Hz there

I would also say fraud

Now it was bought by someone from the United States.

Yes, and that should be a so-called Nigeria buyer.

In order to protect yourself to some extent from other such buyers, you should make the following changes in your ebay account:

You report unwanted buyers / bidders on ebay (Nigeria connection):

and as long as the opposing ebay account is still active, you put the ebay nick on your blacklist:

The so-called Nigeria bidders have been known for decades.

Please give me the ebay nick.

Playstations have a 110-240V switching power supply internally. I have to see what tension they have in Nigeria.

The seller is called nextouch2012 and has been with us since 2012, the ratings are all over one year old and in English. Only the last 3 reviews are German and one month old. There are no reviews in between. The sellers say the buyer would not pay. He also sent me an email today, I quote:

sorry for late reply to you

here is shipping address

Carolina Silva Ramirez

1611 N 3rd st Harlingen Tx 78550

i assure i will pay for the shipment cost and take the risk for post office

so get back to me with your paypal email address now

I have not specified international shipping. I also emailed him that I would only ship with FedEx or UPS. Still no answer.

My suspicions should be justified. Please link the profile. The ebay juice product just strikes again when I search, no matter if I use .de,. Search at or .com.

With PayPal payment, PayPal only accepts shipping via TNT, Fedex or UPS because the shipping can be followed from start to finish on their pages.

Other shipping service providers pass the goods on to local shipping service providers. Another shipping number is then taken from them and the item is no longer traceable by and for PayPal.

I would like to have a look at the whole ebay account.

Thank you.

In my opinion, the ebay account is hacked. The ratings received and ratings submitted were more than a year ago. As a seller questionable / many red marks:

https://www.ebay.de/...k_page:All

He has left the account on hold and is currently not informed about the status.

The house at the shipping address does not seem to be inhabited:

And this address on Google Maps:

Okay, thank you so much for your effort! I will cancel the sale.

So Nigeria Connection. You will likely be offered a check that is not covered.

Wide-range switching power supply may be, but the connector does not fit. Why should he order a PS straight from Germany?

But Nigeria is not America. Then the check will probably be made higher, supposedly for shipping costs.

You should then transfer the difference by Western Union. The check is 14 days e.v. Ie. Subject to receipt.

The check will burst, the money is gone, Playstation is gone & you have still deposited money in cash at the post office counter, the recipient will pick it up in cash & away

Do you want it? No

Write him in English that he: accept an irrevocable letter of credit "

He will not get involved with this and will never report back

Thanks for the star.
