Ebay postage question?

Linzi · Jun 5th, 2008, 11:06 AM

I put a watch on ebay last night and someone has bought it.

In Nigeria.

Does anyone know how much this might cost to post and what services they have to over there? I don't have the foggiest - I worked it out to cost about £6 special delivery to the UK.

Also do I have to send it to them? Because I did specify in my ad that it was UK & local pick up only?

*ebay newbie* I'm so confused!!!

Maybe contact ebay and ask them, i think youhave a good reason to dispute the sale since you did specify uk only.

No, you dont have to send it to them...as your ad did specify UK. But if you do want to send it to them, you'll have to email the buyer and say that seeing as the postage charge that was on there was for UK postage, you'll have to change it to send it to them...id say about a tenner.
Do the same service as you would for the UK. Or ask at the post office.

Well, you don't have to send it to them if you stated Uk and local pick up only, but it's up to you whether to send it. I think I would personally if it's a small item.

Have you tried the Royal Mail website? they also have a postage calculator on eBay now, have you tried that?

Oh by the way, I sent something to Romania the other day for my boyfriend and it was only £12, signed for, recorded and weighed over 1.5kg.. that may give you a rough idea.

If you can weigh the item on some kitchen scales you can get a price from here

Im probably going to send it anyway because I don't know if anyone else will have it, they paid the buy it now price (which I wasn't expecting) and I just want it off my hands. I was just wondering because I didn't want them to get fussy with me if I put the postage cost up...

Ill pop into the post office, thanks
