How much is the p&p?

I'll give you £12.99 for the bike, you can keep the motor.
I posted a record player for sale on ebay the other day and was very specific it was local pickup only and someone from Iceland bid on it. I'm guessing he's not coming to the UK to collect it.

i run into tons of problems since i don't take paypal on international orders. people flip the fuck out when i tell them they need to use bidpay or send a money order.
so you know, if you don't have a tracking number on your package, the buyer can tell paypal they didn't get it even if they did and you have no recourse. found that out after sending a dude a pair of pants and he sends me emails complaining that he didn't like the fit, filed a claim with paypal saying he didn't get them and got his money back in full. only way to get tracking on packages is through global priority which is fucking god awful expensive.
never saw the pants or got a reply from him after that.

they just seem to ignore any disclaimers in the description
clearly stated that i won't sell internationally
so the first emails i get are...yup, you guessed it, poland, sweden and USA.

I pretty much hate ebay now. Used to be pretty good, and you could get a deal -- or actually make some money on something, if you have a dumb buyer. Now it's shit. I also hate anyone who uses the old "buy it now" option. Ebay can go suck a fuck.

Who buys pants on ebay? nuts.

Ebay has gone too commercial. To be able to make any money now, you need to have an eBay store and a warehouse somewhere. It's not the garage sale it used to be.

I'll trade you my pants. They're comfy. Local pickup only!
