O noble eBay experts,

I have sold a lens - but as you will see the auction clearly stated that
it was UK only - unless I was emailed first. In the event, the lens was
won by an Italian bidder who even sent me a checkout for the winning bid
plus �6 postage - which was specifically identified as Royal Mail Special
Delivery - a UK only postage method.

I have emailed the winner, who included these lines in the ebay checkout:

----------------------------

I will be sending payment of �186.00 via International Money Order shortly.


Hi I win the CANON EOS EF 85mm f1.8 USM LENS BOXED . How can I pay it you????

Only... not by PayPal. Thank you.

But he has so far not responded to my 2 emails directly to him:

-------------------------------
I see you have bid and won my lens - are you aware that the auction
clearly stated that the auction was open to UK bidders ONLY unless
emailed first ? I assume you are happy to pay in UK funds and can provide
an address in the UK for the lens to go to?


Please respond to this email immediately or I will relist the item and
leave appropriate feedback.

Thanks,

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS AUCTION WAS OPEN TO UK BIDDERS ONLY UNLESS I WAS
EMAILED FIRST, WHICH I WAS NOT!

The �6 postage WAS FOR UK POSTAGE ONLY. YOU MUST PROVIDE A UK SHIPPING
ADDRESS OR THE AUCTION WILL BE CANCELLED AND THE ITEM RELISTED.

I WILL NOT SEND THE LENS TO ITALY - IT MUST BE A UK ADDRESS.

PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL OR THE AUCTION WILL BE CANCELLED, YOU DID NOT
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PROPERLY.

--------------------------------------------------

Am I taking the right line or do you think I am too soft or too hard? Any
advice gratefully received. First time it's happened to me. His feedback
is not many, but seems good. There was a second-highest bidder, if I get
no further reply, should I offer it to that using 'Second Chance Offer'.
What action can I take??

What would you do next??

Many thanks.



Cheers,
  Cotty
