There's some movies on eBay where the seller only sends to registered addresses in the US. Could anybody help out if I bid on these? I could compensate for any work it would mean.

Thank you
Vidar

Pat, you are a saint,I was going to suggest naming a day after you
but they already have.A nice gesture from a nice man.

Vidar, there will be several scenarios that might happen:

1. Seller set the listing exclusively only for Ebayers registered in USA. In this regard you can not place your bid.

2. The listing is open but once the seller found you are not registered in the USA, seller can remove you. If seller do this in the last minutes you loose time to discuss with the seller hence you loose the items.

3. You win your items and offer Pat's address, he reject it because the address is different from your paypal address.

4. You dont have any problem and get the items. Congratulations!

So you can see there are 3 scenarios that may hinder you in getting the items. Two options you can do is talk with the seller first explaining your situation that you are going to use someone's address for shipping or (the best) ask someone in the USA to bid on your behalf.

Cheers,

I think Pat will PayPal it, I pay Pat the amount and some extra for his help. I know I have to pay extra shipping, but if I get them at my max price, it'll be okay

Appreciate the help from everyone in here, and if someone should need help from here, just ask

Scenario 5: The mailman manages to mess up the delivery, so neither you or Pat get anything [Frown]

(That's what happened to me)

Posted by Vidar Olavesen (Member # 3354) on December 28, 2012, 04:56 AM:

Well, I will pay Pat even if that happens ... He shall not lose anything on this

And it seems I won't be getting much, as I am a cheapskate and bid too low :-)

Christian is right.
