Hi, your help would be very much appreciated.
Just logged on to my Ebay to see that the boots I was selling had been purchased by a buyer from Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. I had specifically asked for buyers abroad to contact me before bidding or hitting BIN. She didn't.
I principally have no problem sending abroad, but have no experience with the reliability of postal services to Reunion. Also, according to Wikipedia, it's part of France and therefore part of the Eurozone. I somehow doubt though that our post office will put European postage on this...
From experience, I know that even if sending by registered post, I will have virtually no insurance on this. However, should Eurozone rates apply, I have much greater insurance on the parcel.
Should I just contact the buyer and tell her that I can't send it or just take my chances.
