    Probably doesn't speak/understand English so may have been confused by your reply.

    Not sure why he'd offer $8000. And I'm even less sure why you accepted it. Don't believe anything good will come of this, and you'll have to fight eBay for a refund on your final value fees...

    From experience Ebay has become a true flea market. Deadbeat sellers and buyers. Drove away quality coins from being offered.

    I appreciate the concern, but no worries, we've canceled the transaction.

    I again sent him what I had said earlier and then google translated in russian and sent that as well, the auction states Ships to: United States and nowhere else, so I don't know what else to do

    the guy is a legit buyer, I see other ancient coin sellers leaving him feedback, I just don't roll the dice and ship overseas

    Do the eBay option where bidders from outside the US can't bid on your auctions.

    I disagree with the majority and how couldn't I? If the offer wasn't coming from Russia which is notorious for its problems with postage, I would have suggested to you to accept the offer.

    I mailed a package to Russia on Sept 28th . I haven't heard anything from the buyer since then . I exchanged a few messages with the help of google translate at the time of the sale.

    He was from Astrakhan the place where the wool hats come from. image

    I was wanting to message and ask if the box arrived yet but no news is good news I usually figure
