Good news - watch sold for $425. Not a bad ROI.

Anyway, I had to deal with the following (had to block the buyer and report her twice). I'm sure more drama to follow: I've removed her name and user ID to protect the "innocent" but with "French" like comment #15, I doubt that she is terribly innocent. I'll paraphrase for you - "You have a word of whore you ete a ***** I speak to you about the watch for 1 week and you you about it given cheaper has somebody else then I **** you"

2) Dear INTERESTED BUYER,
I purchased this watch at a sale. It was a local synagogue (Jewish church) sale. I took to watch to two separate watch dealers to have them authenticate the watch. Both said without a doubt, it was real. I asked the lady at the sale about the watch and she said that the items were donated by woman in the church.

I hope this helps.
Regards
Mandi

5) Dear INTERESTED BUYER,
Unfortunately since the item is shipped through the eBay system, the customs firm is generated automatically. I'm not certain if it automatically declares the item value at the purchase price or if it allows you to adjust up or down accordingly.

6) Dear mm579,

7) Dear INTERESTED BUYER,

- mm579

8) Dear mm579,

I is not u of answer thus I would want to know if always has you OK because as I told it to you it is for a birthday(anniversary) which soon arrives

- INTERESTED BUYER

10) Dear INTERESTED BUYER,
Unfortunately someone else has already bid on the watch.

Also, I checked with the post office about modifying the declaration letter and they indicated that I should NEVER do this under any circumstance. Knowingly writing the wrong information on this form could subject me to major penalties and possibly mail fraud (aka fines and/or jail time). I have two small children and I simply can't risk these penalties to save an eBay member money.

So, at this point, if you are still interested in the watch, you will need to bid on it. However, please understand that you will be responsible for any and all taxes upon delivery of your watch.

Regards
Mandi

11) Dear mm579,

Please change for is it possible i pay the watch buy now.
thank i wait you
- INTERESTED BUYER

12) Dear INTERESTED BUYER,
Sorry, but I can not end the auction early. Once a bid has been placed, unless the item or the listing is in error, I can not end it early and restart it. It is against eBays policy. In order to maintain a good feedback rating, I must ensure that my customers are satisfied. If an item is listed with a starting bid and BIN, it's a first come first serve basis. If someone bids first, it wouldn't be fair to that bidder.

13) Dear mm579,

My typical eBay response to buyers. Sorry I do not ship internationally.
Recently someone wanted me to ship to Russia. The following day they gave me a US address to ship to.
It makes my life so much easier.

All she had to do was bid! Lol. To busy talking. Bum!
That's my point exactly. Best guess, she was waiting around, hoping that no one would bid so she could get the item even cheaper. Anyway, she's blocked and I reported her to eBay twice now. Not really my style, but hey, what else do you do with someone like her?

They've made it so much easier with the eBay Global Shipping program. Unfortunately, I guess they charge WAY more than what it used to cost shipping to the buyer directly. Good for the seller, not always so good for the buyer. 9 times out of 10, not a problem. Lately though I've had quite a few international buyers complaining to me about the price...ummm, you could have asked that question up front, before you bid and won the item. I guess there is a work around, but I'm not sure how to process it through my mobile. I do most buying and selling from my phone (technology has really come a long way since the days of dial up).
