more than 3 years later but I am now in this predicament...They already paid for the $600 item which I had listed for Priority Large Box 1-3 day free shipping on my end for all my listing, now they asked me to upgrade to over night but they say they would pay the extra $50. However they already paid and now I cant invoice them. Without Paypal I have no idea how to do this, Any advice helps

Tell them no.

If you had sent it Monday the 20th by PM they would have it by the 23rd.

The time you are losing by trying to bill them and then wait for the payment means that by the time you get paid for Next Day they won't get it until the 23rd anyways. And they would have spent $50.00 for nothing.

Then there is the problem with timing. You are in California. If the buyer is on the east coast your post office, (like mine in Nevada), most likely has a 10 AM (or so) cutoff time for Next Day. So if you bring it in after 10 AM they will automatically change it to Second Day, but no rebate on the postage.

Tell them no.

Thank you. Very much felt the same way. I just wanted to double-check and make sure I wasn't missing anything. Sadly the worse part is the scammers during this time of year are getting better and better. Thank you for the input and Happy Holidays
