I listed a game on eBay and within the auction itself, it states on the P&P page the prices (free) to post to UK addresses. I have not included any info on shipping outside of UK.

Now, somehow, someone from Portugal has won my item. What can I do about this? He has provided a portugal delivery address but clearly from my auction I am only offering to sell to UK.

What should I do? How can this be handled?

fuck it, i've just sent him an invoice for the game + £7 delivery charge. I'm 99.9% sure that in my settings, I only ship to UK. So this guy must have a UK account or something.

If he refuses to pay, what happens then? Can I get it re-listed for free from eBay? Will I have to pay fees?

If you specifically listed "Ship to UK only" and he ignored that, winning your auction, you - as the seller - will be protected by eBay if he refuses to pay shipping or otherwise kicks up a fuss about your charging for shipping.

a) he pays extra for delivery. just because you didn't list any fees for outside UK deliveries doesn't mean it's free
b) he's a bitch about it-->report to ebay and sell it to the 2nd highest bidder

Lesson learned then (not too many 'get' the hint if you just put P&P for UK alone)! But yeah try what bushwacka said.

well i checked my settings and it was set to UK postage only, only visable to UK people on UK site.

So I asusme his account must be a UK one. With the weak pound I guess he's trying to cunt people off.

If he doesn't pay i'll report him, but really dont want a negative feedback... Am I right in saying I cannot leave him a neg either?

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that - my ebay account was originally registered in the german ebay (and asshole ebay support won't change the system emails I get from german to english, I almost exclusively use the UK ebay now) and I can browse the UK only listings just fine.

Don't drop him a negative feedback just yet - at least not until contacting him about it first.
