Are fruitcakes running rampant on eBay lately? Selling, buying, listing, feedback, etc...

I received an offer on my TLM2 BHz....an offer to buy both sets of 4. Seller has 98% feedback but is located in HK. The delivery looks like it would be sent to Oregon. Is this something I should be wary of?

If you Google the address and warehouses appear, it's likely real. I had the same thing a month back.  Only the buyer was located in Singapore.

    Update to this crazy story.  Of course the buyer never returned the item and never sent any documentation verifying they received their package with rat feces inside.  I called eBay

I need to invoice a buyer for additional shipping costs (the listing had an option to include the original set box at an additional fee).

Can someone clue me in on the process?

 

thanks in advance

There should be an option to send an invoice either under the "More Actions" drop down on the righthand side of the sold listing on the classic seller page. Or on the Orders tab of the new Seller Hub if you've activated it.

No Idea about seller hub...I only do a few ebay transactions a month

There is not an option to invoice in the drop down...I think the best option would have been to refund and re-send an updated invoice, but concerns about the ebay 15% off coupon not working kills that option.  SO will likely skirt the rules a bit and try to go thru paypal

most of Asia buyers use forwarding service warehouse located in OR, most of south america buyers use warehouse located in FL.

Sold various things to both locations and no issues so far

I can verify that also. I have had many go to a shipper in Oregon for Asia buyers. They are great to deal with. I once sent 2 sets there by mistake and the set was very expensive (original lego fort new in box) they mailed back the expensive set when I let them know what happened. I ended up giving them their set around $50  free as I was so amazed they mailed it back and within 3 days in the exact condition it was mailed in.

Nearly all are dogs TBH, I'd walk away. The only sets that have a chance are the 75889 and 21042, but need to be >50% off.

Sold some more items and I had to create an invoice for the buyer since they bought 2 items.  The address is from Pennsylvania but when I sent the invoice, the invoice email receipt I got was in some foreign language.  Anyone familiar with this?  Is it possible I am sending the items to a forwarding service?

as @iahawks550said, as long as the address checks out, send it. You can also do an online chat with ebay and have them validate it for you.

Tried chrome and I get "ask the community" rather than "chat us".  I sent another invoice and I still get a gibberish invoice back.  Sent the buyer a message hopefully they get back to me.

Oh, the invoice is in Russian.

interesting... wondering if it's the time zone thing. I am in CO. may be you try it again tomorrow?

after you sent the invoice, you received the acknowledge email in different language?
