I just sold something on Ebay and stated specifically that I will only ship within the United States but then someone from Puerto Rico bid on it and won my auction. What should I do? I was thinking of sending an email telling him that but I don't wanna get stuck with fees from Ebay.

TIA

Did you specify payment must be sent first - only take Cashier's Check or USPS Money order?

If not, decide if it's worth the risk. Maybe you can charge a premium for shipping/handling too.

Well Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory...but anyways do what you like. Also, I am pretty sure you can send items Priority Mail to Puerto Rico at normal prices.

If it's gonna cost you like $20.00 to ship it, I would charge them $50.00 just for disobeying your rules!

If you send it USPS it's no different than sending it to one of the states.

That is correct. Puerto Rico uses a US zip code.
