Yes. As I said, it is just an excuse that is commonplace on Ebay. 2 chances is enough though, if it doesnt get collected, take it back to your mums for another week whilst the auction runs again!

I have 2 other items that are waiting collection also, one of them should be collected within the next 2 hours and the other item, the buyer is trying to get a car/van big enough to collect it and has been since Wednesday, im still waiting on a reply from them, why dont these people do that before they buy, I always try to collect within 2 days of winning an item.

Not really.

Id of preferred them to say I'm really sorry but I cant make it tonight not make up some silly excuse.

Thing is now you may have to wait in Sunday for them to collect and again its possible they might not turn up which ruins your day.

As already said if you don't here anything by the end of Sunday then start a unpaid item dispute.

I wont be waiting any longer than Sunday, I can assure you of that.

why not ask them what time they are to be coming sunday? also, if you ask them to give you a time preferrably in the morning, so you arent waiting around all day. Then, if they havnt collected when they said they will, you can relist in the afternoon.

I am so angry now, as I said earlier someone was supposed to be coming before 2pm to pick up another item and guess what they didn't even bother and I got this email (at 3.30pm)

Sorry to here that.

I guess this is one of the problems of buyer collects.

You cant even leave them a neg or neutral now for them mucking you around.

You might want to remove that phone number thlough as everyone can see it.

She finally got back to me and said she will come for it at 10:30, so I said ok but im going out no later than 10:50 as I have plans today. No responce yet but lets see what happens. She's on her last chance though.

I cant believe ive had 2 buyers do this to me now.

She turned up at 10:55 with the huff on cos she thought we were closer to Leeds City Center, her words were this cant be classed as in Leeds. Although what puzzled me was on the first coversation she told me she was from Pudsey, on her account it says Bradford and on the phone today she said Sheffield.

Im just glad its over with, I just have 3 more things that are supposed to be collected today now.

Fingers crossed.
