INTERNATIONAL BUYER TRYING TO MAKE OFFER WITH US TO SHIP TO US

HI,

 

I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY A BUYER MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO OFFER A MUCH LOWER PRICE ON SOMETHING THAT WE ARE SELLING BUT THEY ARE BASED OUT OF CANADA WHICH WE DO NOT SHIP TO AND WHEN THAT WAS MENTIONED TO THE BUYER THEY SAID THEY WOULD GIVE A US ADDRESS TO MAIL TO. SHOULD WE MAKE THE SALE OR BE CONCERNED?

Simply add the "buyer" to your blocked list.  If he/she is both offering a very low offer, continues to ask even though you have said "no",  *and* expects you to ship somewhere besides where he/she is registered, I would be concerned.  As a seller, I would not make the sale.

Your call, of course, I would block and move on. JMO

You do not like her low ball offer and probably would not want to deal with her even if she was based in the US.  So her getting a US address in this case is moot, imo.

 

This sounds like a demanding buyer, and if she is going to be like this now, can you imagine how she will be after the deal.  I see a threatend snad and partial refund in your future.  Low ballers are never happy until they get your item for free.

 

Save yourself, and block her.

Yes, too many red flags here, IMO.

I’m sorry, we do not ship internationally, nor do we accept Best Offer or negotiated pricing on Fixed Price listings. You’re more than welcome to purchase at the listed price and we would be happy to ship anywhere in the United States.

 

Thank you for your interest.
