[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1889926, member: 41863"]Well I assume people sell on eBay to make money. Also no one can be sure of the outcome at this point, a us buyer may still win legitimately so why should the seller take a loss now? It's no different then ending the auction now and excluding the turkey buyer. The only thing that really accomplishes is cutting a driving force for the final sale price. If he ends now the turkey buyer is excluded and isolated from the next listing. If he lets it go and refuses to ship to the Turkey buyer anyway, what's the difference? The Turkey buyer will still be excluded. Also keep in mind if a US buyer decides to pay more than the Turkey buyer, then this whole hypothetical gets canned and the seller wins. His best bet for maximum profits and protection is to keep the auction rolling and deal with it at the end. It's not like this was intentionally set up to be handled like this, but rolling with the ball in motion this is absolutely what I would do. eBay would not pull this sellers account for making a plausible excuse to not have to ship the coin to a foreign country where he has no protection in place and it could very well be a scam. I'll PM you my eBay buyers account so you can block me, save you any future worries and trouble.[/QUOTE]
