Hi everyone, please advise me and be blunt if I'm out of line. I have a large dollhouse and it is pickup only. I priced it low because it is only pickup. However after a few messages with interested buyers wanting me to ship, i managed to disassemble to ship in two boxes. Unfortunately, I used up my 20.00 bubble wrap roll just on this house. Buyer interested wants me to send package weight and dimensions to them so they can pay from there to get it cheaper? Not sure how that works....but now I'm losing money on this house...should I ask for a handling fee? List house again higher? I'm not sure what to do. Would 15.00 handling fee be too much? Usually I put that into the price of the widget.

Oh dear, now I have an angry potential buyer. I ended it, and am about to relist it with all revisions, but the buyer seems to think that even though she didn't buy the dollhouse, i went back on my word, and now is upset I am relisting at higher price...was it a done deal? Am I in the wrong? All I did was say I was going to get a quote, not, "it's yours".

Did you check her feedback left for others? Might be a good idea to put her on your blocked bidder list if she's angry.

You said to be blunt, right? OK, so don't be angry with me, when I say, just take the whole thing, and throw it out into the dumpster. Sorry to be so blunt. Some things are just not worth selling on ebay.

now I have an angry potential buyer.

Nah, you have an entitled twit and possibly a scammer.

Not a buyer.

Block her .

Ignore any further messages or emails.

You went above and beyond on something that you originally planned only to sell locally for pickup.

She's wrong.

You're right.

Are you SURE you still want to list the thing on eBay at all? Seems to me this is the perfect example of items that are great to sell locally, and a real pain to try and sell on eBay.

I've had nothing but problems with the few things I tried to list here as Local Pickup Only. Always some ~~idiot~~ buyer in a far-away state who doesn't read.
