what would you do?

[happymover2323]

Sold a high value item worth $8000.

Buyer in New Zealand and zero feedback.  I'm thinking i should cancel?

[bonjourami]

Did the buyr from NZ buy both jackets?

[bubbleman2010]

Now we're getting somewhere. I do vintage clothing and if it were me they'd be shipped....

[happymover2323]

yes

[bubbleman2010]

Last fall I sold a rocky mountain featherbed vest for $1500.00. I was only into it for $50.00 so I tossed the dice and gambled....

[happymover2323]

you sold within US or international. 

[chrysylys]

Ok, so 3600FB, but only 130 in the past 6 months and 1 Neg in that time.  Most of your items are less pricey.  If you don't have any other defects and you don't feel comfortable with the high dollar risk, it might be worth considering cancelling.

Remember, it's not like you can run down to your local courthouse to seek a resolution.

[bubbleman2010]

The big ticket clothing always goes international vintage USA made stuff is always in demand can't give it away on a bet in the USA.... The woman that bought your jackets is probably a big Abba fan or Heart fan.....

[bubbleman2010]

Just depends on how deep you're into them for out here in the middle of no where Iowa at auction they'd be going home with me for $200.00 to $300.00 each,but they are one of those dumb luck items that a person can pickup at a thift shop for $9.95.... Only taste folks have out here is in their mouths..

my seller id.  2 jacket worth $8000 sold today

I would never complete this deal.   You need to fill out certain export documents for these kinds of deals. EEI. 

I'd cancel it.

Ok

this thread needs a devil's advocate.

You listed, you got paid, you should ship.

That is eBay policy.

and discussion board policies state that we...

shouldn't advise others to violate eBay policy.

fwiw,

Lynn

[green-night]

I wouldn't ship it.

Ok, you sold a high value item worth $8000(jacket). The buyer has zero feedback and is from New Zealand. All of us at some point started with zero feedback. I know $8000 is a lot of money to lose.

The money is in your Paypal account, buyer paid you immediately. If you choose to cancel, expect a negative from the buyer and a defect on your account. Just ship the jacket and don't worry about what might happen.

The OP has $8000 on the line.  This advice is hilarious.

Lacking any other information, two ideas:

1.   Call eBay customer service, see if you can connect to a rep that handles hi-dollar items, ask them if they have any info on the Buyer.

2.  Google up the destination mailing address, see if there is a Street View of it.  If you see a location at which a person who spends $8,000 on a whim might live, maybe that will ease your concerns a bit?

@happymover2323  Please post details when you post for advice.  It saves on the 20 questions game. Thanks! 😃

Is it a fur jacket?
