I had no knowledge of it going anywhere else other then miami fl so im not sure whats the point of having someone pick it up and ship it to him versus
telling me to ship it to the carribeans something aint right.

Some foreign buyers skirt the Ships TO USA ONLY by finding a forwarder in USA, registering their USA address with ebay, then giving that as their USA residence address. The "middle-man" there simply forwards it on to their actual NON-USA address

Just a little update here.
I told the buyer after what I know now was not going to refund him anything so he has chosen to open a claim as I suspected he would,
He now claims water damage. So this went from it wont turn on but charges fine just want some money back and ill set aside to replace screen to now its water damaged lol
I suppose that is possible since it was on water going from miami to the carribeans without my or ebays knowledge but what he dont understand that little part is out of my hands.

A lot of buyers that use stolen credit cards do it this way also.
