    Items bid on:s.gif3
    Bid activity (%) with this seller:s.gif100% s.gif

    The seller should have used that account to sell the item - not bid on it with

    Like I said, be a terrible shame if one of the components failed and you couldnt sell it.....

    And an even greater one if you managed to fix it in a few weeks time ;)

    Has he actually paid you yet?

    No, I'm still awaiting payment - I supplied him with my mobile number and asked him to text me when he had made the payment.

    Yeah, you'll probably be waiting until his buyer pays him.
