eBay query
Ive just sold my xbox 360 with games on eBay and i have notice that the winning bidder is from Estonia. Now i listed the postage as "Post to United Kingdom" and in the listing i wrote £25 to be added to the winning bid to cover postage and packaging. I already turned someone down via email about posting to Spain. Now how do i stand? i Cant be arsed with posting abroad, especially something like an xbox which could get damaged, plus I'm suspicious sending it to Estonia. Any advice please

Cheers bud, I've just sent him an email stating the above, about only posting to the UK, there £30 difference in the next bid so i doubt it will get matched, looks like its getting re-listed

Yeah I thought i had done that, obviously I hadn't. 
well he's been back in touch, as I've given him an estimated price for posting, £60 
which is crazy, it's half the cost of what it was won for! Hopefully that will put him off.

Post office is generally not best way to send items over 2kg overseas and you can probably send lot cheaper by courier. BUT would recommend not sending it to Estonia unless you get payment by bank transfer.

You are safer with a Western Union transfer than with Paypal.
No-one but PayPal is protected when it comes to fraud.
Edited to add:
If someone abroad is that desperate to get the item, get them to send cash through the post. There is no other way I'd deal with someone abroad.

Well within the allocated time I instigated a dispute. PayPal allowed the seller to take the money out of Paypal immediately. Once the time limit had elasped for the seller to deliver the goods/appeal against the dispute, I just got a message saying "Sorry, we could not recover the funds. Go screw yourself". They would not even refund the paypal fees.
