Have a buyer who says they do not have a credit card so no card no paypal acct,they want to send me cash problem is buyer is from India and the idea behind the sales was for a quick turnaround to buy more items for resale,I only stated I accept paypal,check or money order with the stipulation that checks and money orders can sometimes be held by my bank for up to 10 days before clearing
1 I would hate for this buyer to send a substantial amount of $$ in the mail which would not be easy to hide and am not sure what the post is like over in india but know we have our problems here when sending cash in the mail,so I would not want him to have it go missing
2 I would prefer the methods of payment to which I have put forth in my auctions,I am more comfortable with them,paypal being the money grubber it is at least offers protection to a degree,check or money order can be easily verified if they were cashed and when funds were released so as when to expect shipment to go out
3 this buyer is totally new,nothing against new buyers,we need more of em but when a new buyer joined the day of my auction ending and then wants to only pay by cash I just get an iffy feeling
Am I within my rights to cancel this order and relist,I never agreed to a cash sale from across the world to someone I know nothing about,don't get me wrong they could be on the up n up but as I do not accept this form of payment would I be allowed to relist the item and cancel his purchase
Not sure of the ins n outs on this sort of thing on here so any guidance could help a great deal
Thanks and 1 more thing,
To all who replied on either way to my rant the other evening,I am big enough to admit I read into it more than was there and have apologized to the poster who I thought had wronged me,and would like to take this chance to offer an apology to everyone else,things got a bit heated and cooler heads(on my part)only came to be a while later,I am sorry about that mess,Things just snowballed out of control and I just kept adding the snow
Thanks again.
