tecnichally your meant to wait 7 days to open a dispute , then they have another 7 to respond but i'd just relist it and open the dispute for the original listing when 7 days is up.

Ive already listed it.

With the tax running down and the fact I need the space I don't have the time to wait to open a dispute and wait for it to close.

I will be opening one though to try and get my 12.99 back!

this is exactly the reason i advised to sell on auto trader, with AT the worst a messer can do is come and kick the tyres, or ring and not bother to come and view after arranging to, with ebay they can bid to buy and end your listing, then when they turn out to be messers you're back to square one.

you did the right thing asking for contact within 24 hours, that gives you a quick heads up to whether they're likely to be genuine, if they haven't contacted, they most likely aren't.

The message saying the phone does not accept in coming calls is what you get when you haven't paid your phone bill, and the bills been outstanding for some time, the block outgoing calls first, when they block incoming calls they aren't far of terminating the line all together. This is not a good sign, your buyer is unlikely to be able to pay for your car if he can't pay his phone bill.

Report the buyer for incorrect contact details, it might get you your fees back quicker if they are NARUed. beyond that re-list and hope for more luck next time.

I might have to do that if I get messed around again this time.

I actually put the auction on as a classified with best offer so when he put the offer in I looked at his history and it was all good making me think hes a good buyer and so I accepted it.

Turns out after messaging one of the other people hes brought of hes done exactly the same thing to them and was coming out with excuses about family illness and hospitals or some rubbish.

It cant be that serious as after that he bidded on my car!
