Cash on collection via ebay
There is an item near me that I would like to purchase, I would prefer to collect it and pay cash once I have seen it.

Private a/c - can you give an agreed partial refund for a returned item?
Hi So I sold an expensive brand new and sealed item a few weeks back. After two weeks of using the item, the buyer wants to return it simply because they don't like it - they even mentioned it's not faulty just not for their photography needs/wants.
