What to do? Inexpensive item was shipped to address provided in PayPal Payment Details.
Kept getting e-mail from buyer that it had not been rec'd. I urged patience. Finally today it arrived back on my doorstep with "Addressee Unknown" stamped all over it. Buyer replied to me that she had moved but had bought a few things since then and they'd arrived at her new address (paid thru PayPal)!!! At any rate, this one did not. Apparently, she didn't leave a forwarding address. She's very nice, but her last e-mail to me provided her new address, but no mention of the $8.64 it will take to re-ship to her. Of course, I can insist on the $8.64 to re-ship and complete the transaction, but it's probably not worth it to her. I could suggest sending the purchase price back to her and re-listing the item and I'm out a small amount for fees. Any thoughts on how to resolve this fairly?

FIRST: what color is her HAIR?

SECOND: write a polite email stating:

"Since the address provided was invalid, the USPS returned the VELVET ELVIS to me for re-shipping. Please provide the following so I can re-ship yer lovely item:

1) Your CURRENT shipping address.
2) $8.64 RE-shipping fee.
Sincerely,
Blah blah"

I doubt the buyer is going to want to go in for another reshipping fee. But they might.

You can ask doesnt seem you have anything to lose you will only be right where you started.

Sorry. I know thats not much of a consolation. But as my brother used to say (and I dont know where he got it from): What it is, is what it is.

ALL RESOSLVED! I wrote nice note explaining that the PO would require $8.64 to re-ship.
She wrote back and said that the vintage sewing box is exactly like one her mom had when she was a girl and having it will be worth a lot to her and she's perfectly willing to send me the money. I'm shipping in the morning.
