I donated a set of handmade pillowcases with dogs motif to an auction to benefit several animal rescues.
The person running the auction is in the USA.
I offered the items with free shipping.
I did not stipulate free shipping in the USA only.
It turns out the winning and only bid was by a woman in Canada.
I informed the auction that 11 ounces mailed to Canada is $19.71 (PirateShip's discounted rate).
The winning bid was $6.
The auction told me that they would reimburse me the $13.71.
I messaged the winning bidder that the shipping is $19.71
I offered to reimburse her the $6 and not mail the pillowcases.
It is silly to lose money when the purpose is to raise money for the animal rescues.
Did I do the right thing?
