Story goes I had some test equipment on ebay, guy from phillipines gets in touch asking how much postage would be, I told him £40 and left it at that. Anyway, he wins the auction and has a feedback of 80+ all good including some from UK for test equipment. After 4 days he hadn't paid or got in touch despite me sending a few polite requests. I filed a non-payment dispute and low and behold hes paid now via paypal. His address is unverified but at the end of the day so is mine. Im just a bit reluctant to send it in case he does a chargeback on the paypal for whatever reason. Is there any thing I shold do/look out for?

 

always send anything that goes abroad with a tracking number or he will just say he never got it ,and read through sales feedback too

 

my advice is dont send overseas i done it a few times and was more hassle than its worth uk mainland only but if he has had previous transactions with uk maybe not all bad but id be cautious as you had to prompt for payment did he give a valid reason as to why was so late in paying

 

I only ever send overseas with a 'signed for' delivery with online tracking - so you can show that they did get it should they contest it with Paypal.

 

no explanation whatsoever, no contact at all really, just the notice of payment from paypal

 

oh yeah, his first name is Geronimo aswell

 

he mite not have a computer i work with two and they dont have one back home they have to go some were to use one . its a grim place over there

 

dont send it for a month and wait and see if the payment is returned

if not then send the item

 

I won't send anything overseas anymore, it's not worth the hassle. Since you can't leave buyers bad feedback anymore don't put too much hope in his good feedback unless most of it is as a seller.

 

how do I politely tell him to do one then??

 

Just refund the Paypal payment and apologise.
