Re: Collection question
 

If doing cash on collect, try to cajole buyer to pay outside of pp...just saying

Re: Collection question
 

after u cancel then meet her n let her pay you for it...:d

Re: Collection question
 

I live hundreds of miles from my stealth address. Collection isnt an option im afraid :-(

Re: Collection question
 

Yes...postage displayed on listings.
She took a chance and presumed that coz i live in her town (which i dont ) lol, she thought id agree to colection with cash.

Re: Collection question
 

Yes exactly!

Its not going to count as a defect either because its not your fault the cancellation is occuring.

My assumption is you didn't list nor promote local pick up right? Just in case the buyer is crazy and wants to cause issues with eBay.

Thats strange the buyer doesn't want it anymore if they can't do local pickup? Are you offering free shipping? That might save the sale if you can...

Again your account WON'T be affected in anyway because of the cancellation. No defects, nothing....

Re: Collection question
 

Solefoodbk....THANK YOU

i tried one last ditch attempt to meet her in the middle and said i would.ship for free. She is delighted. The shipping is only going to cost £3.00 tracked with courier.
Plus...she has already left feedback for both items. She apolgised if she appeared rude but she understood my reasoning.
I went with rosie tosies suggestion in the end.

HAPPY DAYS :-)

Re: Collection question
 

So glad this was easily resolved for you, as this usually is NEVER the case haha..

£3.00 is worth it for a few positive ratings, even if free postage was her plan all along lol..

She might even be related to that last buyer you had who was giving you grief about your postage and wanting you to give her someone elses bid as well.

Re: Collection question
 

Im so glad that soulfood mentioned it. He is right, a postage loss is nothing against cancellibg the whole sale...all for 3 quid.

Lol....yes you never know. Ive had my fair share of finnicky buyers of late.
Did see id updated post bunneh. She left great feedback for all three items.
But she is blocked now that one. Did that as soon as she paid :-)

Re: Collection question
 

Well done for not reading the thread. This not advice wanted by 'halo.

OP clearly stated the items are several hundred miles away.

'halo does not want contact with the buyer.

Anything to boost the psot count with advice not remotely germaine to the topic.

:boink:

Re: Collection question
 

Problem with security reasons when we are talking about 2 second hand jumpers is it sounds quite lame.

Most REASONABLE people will ask prior to bidding if they can collect.

With the UNREASONABLE people I have my own UNREASONABLE methods of dealing with them.

Re: Collection question
 

Thats a very unprofessional way of looking at it imho.

:attention:

The world is filled with "unreasonable people"... you won't get very far if you treat them the same way they treat you.

Re: Collection question
 

Perhaps.

Explain please how it's professional to misrepresent the location of items (Of which I am guilty of doing myself)

Re: Collection question
 

The thought about two jumpers with a security issue would sound a bit weird lol

But i wouldnt want to be unreasonable back. I wanted this sale to be a good one with no problems and solved in a way that would please us both.

Glad i got my issue sorted with the free postage suggestion.
Thanks soulfoodbk :-)

Got me out of another scrape so im happy :-)
