I wanted to know exactly what you have to consider when shipping to England (City of London) via DHL.
Can you use the Germany + EU parcel label or do you have to use the parcel and parcel label worldwide?
If you have to use a second one, do you have to stick the attached customs slip or not?
I'm afraid that someone can read what is included in the package.
It is strange that someone from England buys something in Germany, although there's everything in England. There's no point in paying increased shipping costs if the buyer could have it cheaper in England.
I suspect a scam behind it. Have you been promised to pay with PayPal? If so, it's a long-known scam. The buyer requests the shipping number from you and then wants to "release" the money with PayPal. But that's not true. Once he has the tracking number, you will never hear from him again. You don't get any money. You could file a complaint, but the criminals are nowhere to be found, apart from the fact that the German police authorities could not and would not investigate in England.
Steer clear unless the buyer has transferred the money to your bank account and you can see the receipt on your bank statement.
Great Britain is with the EU for a few more weeks. Therefore: EU parcel label and no customs slip.
And the most important thing: Pack the laptop so that it does not break even if the package is handled roughly.
It's like I forgot to say that the buyer is from Germany and ordered it for his daughter in England.
He wants to pay it by bank.
Yes, that's exactly one of the well-known scam stories. If he wants to pay by bank, please wait until the money has arrived in your account.
OK thank you.
I pack it in its original packaging with all the protection it contains and around this packaging comes the shipping packaging plus protection (foils, newspapers).
I always send parcels whenever I have money in them.
OK! I just wanted to warn you. Here come many questions from cheated people, where the child has already fallen into the well.
I've read and heard about it many times.
He said that he would contact his bank to pay for the item, that the item would be paid for, I've never heard of it.
He only needs to make a transfer from Germany and no "contacts" with his bank. ) As you wrote correctly, do not send anything without receiving your money BEFORE. This is the only way to be on the safe side.
I agree
Report the "customer" eBay, then it will be blocked. And don't waste any more time on it. This is just an attempt to defraud.
Problem is he wrote me on SMS / GMX
Why is that a problem? Report and you're done.
Wanted to say there was an email from him:
He has received a confirmation email from his bank that the payment has been completed. I should check my email for a confirmation email and see that the money has arrived. (That was yesterday).
Does anyone know the bank: bank customer care? I do not know you.
There was no receipt of payment on my account yesterday and I did not receive a confirmation email.
I said that I would only send the article out when money arrived.
As a result, he did not respond.
Determines fraud if there's nothing in the account by tomorrow.
Yes, of course the fraud is. No bank sends a confirmation email. Banks NEVER get involved in their customers' business and there's no bank! Be assured that no money will be received! He allegedly lives in Germany. If that were true, he would have an account with a German bank and could make a very simple transfer. Exactly what he pulls off with you is the scam.
Yes, he doesn't answer either.
Where did you sell the laptop? On eBay or on another platform? You should report the buyer there so that others are not cheated.
On ebay classifieds.
