Wait a bit longer.....

Some people take a while to collect stuff

Or even respond to PM's/txt/emails/voice messages/Facebook Messages etc etc etc

I even know someone who took six months to pick a F&F up from 6 miles down the road

If it says pick up on your listing then you haven't got a problem. Just send him a message asking when he is likely to pick it up. After a month if he hasn't picked it up let him know you are going to relisted it in 2 weeks as you need the space. If he doesn't pick it up then re-sell it. But don't refund him. As he can't claim back after that time or leave you bad feedback. Send all messages via eBay so if there is any problems then eBay can see you have communicated with the buyer without any replies. He probably thinks the price he paid is with delivery to his doorstep. He has probably now read the listing and is thinking shit. I've got to pick this bike up from wherever. How the fook am I gonna do that! There are a lot of dumb people out there you know!

Maybe he's waiting for his balaclava that he also bought on eBay to turn up!

So if he don't pick it up after a month then

I've bagged my self £255? The listing said collection only and I live in Bolton and the buyer lives in Essex so the chance of me taking it down is zero!

Is it a Mk1 or Mk 2

DJL · « **Reply #9 on:** February 18, 2012, 01:35 PM »

i personally don't accept paypal payments on collections - theres no proof goods were collected (like you'd get with a pod on a delivery) so if the buyer were to open a chargeback against you you wouldn't have a leg to stand on........

Discostu · « **Reply #10 on:** February 18, 2012, 01:36 PM »

Allow six weeks then the dosh is yours. Just pm him every week asking when he is going to collect.

ugy76 · « **Reply #11 on:** February 18, 2012, 01:39 PM »

It should have been cash on collection but they paid it into paypal! Is there something sinister going on here?

Rodgy1970 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 18, 2012, 01:46 PM »

Take a pic of him as proof of delivery when he collects it, might have to ask him to take the balaclava off though $:-\$

DJL · « **Reply #13 on:** February 18, 2012, 01:50 PM »

or get a signed receipt.....

dubber · « **Reply #14 on:** February 18, 2012, 02:27 PM »

what DJL said, write a receipt out and get them to sign it, maybe do 2 copies so you can have one each..send them a message asking about collection, if he doesnt reply thats his problem mate, not yours..good luck mate.

It's a mk1, I've sent 2 messages I will just send 1 a week, then its Tuff Titties

I had some one buy a racer bike - they paid £70 for it and £15 for a courier - i sent it and it came back as they couldn't find the place - the guy said it was above a estate agent - they went back and sill couldn't find it - int the end i said i would drop it off as it wasn't to far away and only 30mins and sorry for the mess up - i never heard a thing back ? ebay said i could keep the money after so long (just check) and so i did and the bike - win win

i'm sure there must be a reason for not answering - no Internet - family emergency - ?

just give it a bit of time - you have his money and have sent a meesage - that's all you can do for the mo

You can ask for his contact info on the My eBay page and call him if it's bothering you that much...

I feel bad now she sent me a message saying her son had been for an operation, that's why she didn't contact me $:-\$

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #20 on:** February 18, 2012, 10:41 PM »

don't feel bad, as you still have the bike - you are willing to send it or pick up - you have asked us about it - you haven't taken the money and sold the bmx to some one else

yes you have done it all right and nothing wrong - just tell her it's here till she picks it up - saw that you can give her three weeks, but it must be picked up after that or she will not be able to get a refund
