Hi I am looking at selling something for around $900 (postage included) with paypal to the UK with goods and services, just wondering If i will have to wait for the buyer to receive the parcel (new seller) like with domestic payments and roughly how much would i be lookin at paying in fees/currency conversion? Been trying to look for this info online but couldn't really find much, thanks.
oh come on, how bad could it be?
dont do it
*Inner Narrator* “And it was at this point, he did it anyway…”
Cash on pick up or no deal…
Don't do it. It's very likely to be a scam.
AND DO NOT REEDEM.
Don't forget to buy Panadol for your headache
Do not do this !!!
Next thread….
blah blah blah scammed blah blah blah
May aswell throw your item in the bin now and save yourself the hassle….
Buyer/scammer will lodge a Paypal 'Item not as described' request, and get their money back and if you're lucky will send you back a rock or brick in the return package…
What rubbish, it's 100% safe, give it a go a let us know how it went ;)
sarcastic wink, not legal advice
it's a trusted buyer on a facebook group who has purchased from other multiple other members in the group, i just wanted to know what the fees are. I trust the buyer.
guaranteed thread in 2 months wanting us to advise it on how to get the money / item back after being scammed
Not that it matters but the buyer has years of rep buying off people from aus. it's a niche facebook shoe group with over 50 000 people and they would of been called out a very long time ago. I just want to know roughly how much in fees i'd be looking at.
Use something like an online calculator to figure out the approximate cost. They generally charge 20% VAT.

Buyer is responsible for import duties
@randomusername2017: Realise this but op is unclear as to what, if any arrangements he’s made with the buyer -re fees.
Are you male or female?
One shoe or multiple?
4 pairs
3.6% + $1 fixed fee
Buyer wears currency conversion.
Have you got a quote for tracked /insured shipping?
This. Or ask buyer to pay with Wise to your bank account directly
💯 wise over PayPal any day…but I doubt the buyer would agree.
Tell the buyer to pay 2% less of order amount on bank transfer, or not :)
yep $107 and theyre fine with that.
Don't do it.
