Item bought in the USA, how do I pay?
Summary: pfeifencharlie99 bought an old tobacco pipe in the USA and is looking for a way to pay after the seller didn’t ship the item to Germany. perfect-sally explains that payment is only possible if shipping to Germany takes place, which is often not the case with the Global Shipping Program.
I bought an old tobacco pipe in the USA.
How can I pay for it now?
The seller wants to sell and send me the item!
I got this information from eBay regarding payment.
"Unfortunately, this seller does not ship this item to Germany. You have the following options:
- Update your shipping address and try again.
Please contact the seller to request the total amount."
How should we proceed?
Thank you very much and kind regards.
Ralf

MentorJul 14, 2026 at 5:28 PMPayment can be made with all payment methods listed for the item. However, if the seller does not ship to Germany, you also can't pay.
I think the seller wants to ship via a Global Shipping Program, and with that many items can't be shipped to Germany.

OPJul 15, 2026 at 4:23 PMThanks, dear perfect-sally 👍🎈🙂
I'll keep looking for a possible solution.
Best regards.
The seller would be happy to send it to me.
But neither of us are eBay pros and we don't know how to proceed now.
Well, ... we'll see.
