Buying Privileges - OKSelling Privileges - OK
Store Closed Store: A Few Extra Pieces
I don't have a big store - just one where me and the kids sell what we don't
want and buy what we do.
Recently received an order for one minifig from a buyer in the US , (and we're
in Canada)

with the following note in the comment section of the order sheet

"Not sure what shipping will be but if reasonable I will purchase. Thx."

Never had that before , but do buyers think this is the appropriate way to do
things now days???

So, I invoiced with the postage - and after 3 days , no payment , no communication,
nothing..

Should I just cancel , and be done, or should I really do a NPB??
Should I do negative FB , which more than likely will result in a retaliatory
negative FB???

Thoughts on this???.

You can cancel, but there's the 1% chance you'll get a dumb negative
FB. Or do the NPB if you want to protect yourself.

If you had your shipping rates posted then I would say NPB, but since you don't
I would just cancel, no feedback.

It is a single minifig, it is hardly any work to pick and quote the postage.
I'd just tell them what the postage is, along with a note saying to let you
know if they want to cancel if international postage costs more than they thought.

I think you should just cancel and move on, no negative FB - also take the opportunity
to write a shipping policy for your store together with how much you charge for
S&H, or enable Instant Checkout so buyers can see for themselves.

Do you have the Price Quote feature enabled in your store? If so, then the buyer
has no excuse. They chose not to request a Quote and committed to the purchace,
in accordance with BL policies. Give them a polite reminder, and when the ability
to file an NPB opens, do so.
