Do yourself a favor and let the buyer know that you'll only ship after a check or m.o. has cleared due to customs and shipping outside the US. You are right that paypal will side up with the buyer since the buyer may have a CC tied to the paypal account. The CC co. makes the final decision not paypal, so it may be better to lose out on a sale rather than take a chance. Even if a buyer signs for an item, they can dent it and claim the item was not significantly described. Good luck either way and I hope the transaction will work for the both of you.
Selling on Agon question
Hi, I have an ad out, and someone with no feedback, from Mexico City, has expressed interest.
I am slightly wary, are there precautions I could take to ensure I don't get burned?
I was thinking:
-Insist on bank check/money order, wait for funds to clear before shipping.
-Ship UPS and choose the option to have the buyer have to sign for the item
Does that cover me?
I am wary of accepting paypal for this transaction as disputes usually go to the buyer, and this person could claim the item was damaged and ask for money back or something like that.
Any thoughts based on your experience would be much appreciated.
