Another royal PIA is if it's over $2500 US $ you must do an SED (Shippers export delaration). If its not done correctly the product is held up somewhere until it is straightend out. We avoid this at work by only shipping to a freight forwarder here in the USA and let them figure it out. Good luck- JD
How to avoid being scammed?
I wasn't sure where to post this question.
I have a buyer who wants to buy my amp. He has no feedback (neither do I since I have never bought anything on Audiogon.)
He is in Taiwan. I am in the US.
He is offering to pay full asking price on everything I am selling.
He has given me his EBayID, his address in Taiwan, and his e-mail.
I tried Googling his e-mail and it does link to a company in Taiwan.
I have sent him a message on EBay to his EBAYID just to make sure it's actually his account.
I sent an e-mail too just in case.
What else can I do to see if this buyer is legit or not? I am seriously considering not selling it to him since I am paranoid.
Any suggestions on how to confirm someone is legit if they are international?
Thanks.
