sad day has come where my car is now sold subject to payment but buyer has requested a invoice,including postage. to france. i did not intend on sending the car and would like him to arrange collection.
how do i send the invoice but remove postage costs?

Did you not list it as colletion only? It wouldnt have postage in that case.

Otherwise just put 0 and tell him to sort his own collection. If he didnt ask about delivery to france, its tough shit

Sod it work out the petrol cost of driving and flights back etc and deliver it, one last roadtrip.

Am I understanding correctly, car as in car ? Don't even consider a paypal payment for it.

Sorry, when I read your original post regarding sending an eBay invoice it rang alarm bells, thought it best to say something rather than nothing.

cheers john. hopefully hes a decent guy. he has 100% feedback and has been buying from motorsport type shops. he requested invoice including delivery so i got a quote from shiply and sent it to him. no reply as of yet but i will second chance it if he does not respond

I sold my MK to a chap from France I met him at Newhaven docks and he paid cash I checked the cash with a pen from Staples. Filled in the export part of the V5 and he drove it onto the ferry! Get your buyer to do the same
Definetly dont accept paypal they can reverse the payment. I also sold a westfield to a chap from Finland he paid the money into my bank account and I delivered it to Harwich docks and a frieght company dealt with the delivery. Both deals went without any problems
