A person in Germany purchased a large lot of Beatles items from me. He bid it up to about $227 (great!). But he started giving me a hard time about shipping. In all my listings, I clearly state that any International orders over $50 are to be sent Priority, no exceptions and that any additional fees (vat taxes, customs fees, etc.) are not my responsibility and that I will not modify any forms.
Right off the bad, he started to complain about the price of shipping and stated it was a lot with the additional fees involved. So despite the fact of what I said in the listing, I agreed to do it First Class. Still, this wasn't good enough. He wanted to pay for the item on eBay and them pay me separately for shipping (as the fees for him are calculated per total with price of item and shipping).
Due to the fact his English is bad, I had a hard time understanding what he wrote and he was taking too long to reply, so I offered it to other buyer with a second chance offer.
Now he seems ****ed and refused to agree to cancel the transaction (I already shipped it to the other buyer).
I just wanted to get paid and not know anything. I am trying to raise money fast. Was I a hot head or did I do the right thing?
