Buyer Short Paid via Wire- Advice
I sold my datejust. The buyer wired me the money, and underpaid by $20.
He claims he paid in full. The Bank fee is separate on my ledger. Should I let it go, and ship the watch? Or press for another wire of $20? |

Ask the guy for a copy of his receipt - he must of got some form of one...
You'll know if he's genuinely telling the truth. It depends if $20 is a deal breaker or not... |

This happens to me all the time from overseas buyers. Its most likely your bank charging you a fee.Every 1 of these the buyer has shown me he wired the full amount.

$20 isn't a deal breaker. Though it does make me worry about possible issues after I mail the watch. It's about trust.

That is completely up to you. Does the $20 matter? If it does, demand it as he agreed to pay it, if not, just ship it and be happy you got whatever you got for your DJ.

I wouldn't die over $20. Its probably his bank fee or an exchange rate issue.

Standard fee charged by his bank for sending it out. Cost of doing business.

When I do wire transfer I would tell the bank to do the exact amount in the exact currency and they would charge the fees on top of that amount which would total up to the total amount of the wire.

As long as the buyer can show he wired the full amount, this is on you. As Greg said, cost of doing business.
