here is a story:

i won a lot of 12 CPUs at 0.99 USD+ 50 USD shipping worldwide , 30 USD to USA.. Seller is from Czech Republic... he sent me the invoice with shipping to Romania..
i said him that i prefer to give him a Czech address and send him some more money outside Ebay...

his reply was: 10 usd shipping to Prague and i need to send him 30 USD... (way too much in my opinion).. and he said would be 10 USD cheaper for me ...

I replied that are 3 ways:

- to Romania -> 1+50 USD and he will remain with probably 10-15 usd
- to USA -> 1+30 USD and he will get nothin
- to Czech Republic 1+10 USD and i'll send him more 15 USD outside Ebay...

Im waiting his answer...

What would you do as a buyer in this case?

thanx

I'm sorry but I don't understand why you want to send him additional money outside eBay ?

If I were you I would not bid on this auction - seeing shipping costs or if that could be missed somehow then I would choose AVICC.

additional money because i feel kinda bad buying 12 CPUs with at least 40 USD value with only 1 USD... seller has 4 feedbacks, is a rookie, maybe did some mistake and i think he's sorry for selling them for nothing....

i always buy from UK Ebay, German Ebay and USA Ebay and ALWAYS the seller accepted different address that my Romanian address... i have 4 addresses in Ebay , one for each country... and i was hoping that having collectors in Prague would be a benfit to all to send them there:
i get them cheaper, seller remain with 15 USD and the fellow collector with some CPUs for free...


seller is an idiot.. he said wont accept sending to USA , only to Romania (because i live here) with 50 USD or to Prague with 40 USD .. i think he's complete idiot.. Anyway, i'll bring them here with 50 USD..

Ahh I got it now. Sorry for my misunderstanding.

If you really like to choose shipping to US there is a way to fix it :
add AVICC shipping adress to eBay adresses. Pay via PayPal and choose that adress, Seller MUST send to declared adress. If will not do this you will get refund or give him a choice to send it to Romania for 30 USD Smile

If you are buyer the right is always on your side Wink That is why I'm not US (ebay.com) seller anymore Razz

In a way you needed an excuse to go get them in Prague... like it isn't a great city to visit Smile

Have a nice trip!!!
