ebay woes

[Raybdbomb]

So I have an ebay item listing going, for 2x$50 itunes store gift cards, $46 each with buy it now

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...me=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=010
(i'm not trying to promote, hear me out)

note the title of the listing
"$50 iTunes Store Gift Card - To confirmed&verified only"

So of course some dude with 0 reputation from Mexico buys one. In the invoice I send him this message:

Pay with Paypal, once payment received, I will send you the code.
Please, if you are not confirmed and verified, do not pay for this item.

So he sends me the payment, and SUURE enough,
Shipping Address: Unconfirmed
Payment From: ... Non-US - Unverified

A few minutes later he sends me this e-mail

Hi Ray:

I pay you for the itunes gift card and i don't have the code, could you confirm my
pay please.

See you

...

What should I do?

 

[Reckoner]

refund, relist, file unpaid item dispute. Choose unconfirmed address as reason

 

[Yossarian]

reject it, of course

OK, thanks.

An Unpaid Item reminder cannot be sent for this transaction yet.

You cannot report an Unpaid Item dispute for this item until after Sep-11-2007.

meh.

by relist you mean edit back to quantity 2? Or is this an option that should be available after the Unpaid item dispute goes through? Quantity is set to 1 when I revise, and it's greyed out...

 

[S Freud]

You should be able to relist the item completely. As in, you are putting the item back up again, I don't know about changing the quantity.

 

[Raybdbomb]

ah, well maybe i'll wait until it finishes then. the reason i wanted to "change the quantity" is because it was 2 and is now 1. the buy it now is still going on, until tomorrow. i guess if i can't figure it out then, i'll check back

thanks!

 

[Raybdbomb]

hmm, it doesn't let me submit the form...

keeps bringing me back to
Report an Unpaid Item Dispute
Please enter your correct information in the highlighted fields below.

after i submit it...

What should I do?

Refund his money and tell him to read more carefully next time.

 

[AnyMal]

Here is the tip for the future: next time you sell the gift cards don't just email the code but mail the physical card as well to protect yourself.

 

[Raybdbomb]

caps = copy/paste

 

[Cdubneeddeal]

Here's another tip. In your Paypal preferences, choose to reject payments from unconfirmed addresses.

 

[daveymark]

also do BIN immediate payment required
