EBay
Fees Charged on Cancelled Sale to Buyers Outside the US

I sold my blackberry and macbook on ebay. I posted them on 1/25 and within minutes they had sold. At first I thought, "wow awesome $715.00" that was fast. As I proceeded to send the invoice to the buyer, I noticed his location was in the UK and so was the other buyer. Which I thought was weird because I only ship within the US, so I didn't understand as to how they had been able to purchase my items. I went ahead and sent the invoice and told both buyers that I only shipped within the US but I could ship them abroad with no loss / damage protection. I have my account set up to only accept paypal payments, so when they asked me for my info in order to send the money, I panicked. As everyone knows ebay charges a fee for items sold. Mine came out to $69.00. I opened to cases on ebay stating that I wanted to cancel the transaction because I do not ship outside the US. Apparently this took take 7 days and if the buyer decided to decline, ebay would not credit my account back for the $69.00. So now I am out $69.00. Please HELP!!!
