Does he have any feedback from other sellers?

He SAID he had sent a cheque but as I hadn't given him my address and it doesn't appear on the invoice, I asked how this had happened and where he had sent it to. He then said he didn't have a Paypal account and wanted to drop the sale. All this makes me think he is not a particularly trustworthy buyer :rolleyes:

sounds like a complete nightmare!

Yes - it is positive but is quite old. He hasn't bought anything for a few months. I think I will report him for non-payment today and see where that gets us. I am still puzzled by someone who apparently has no Paypal account bidding on a Paypal only item and then being shirty with me when I want my money!

I also have another buyer who says her paypal account has been blocked and was irritated when I couldn't be at home for her to collect the item at her chosen time! I am taking a cheque on that one but it will take ages to get the item to her with the postal strike and then clearing time.

Folks sure are strange!

After 7 days go to the dispute consel and report the item as unpaid. Select the option that the buyers payment has not been recieved . After 10 days or if the buyer responds to the dispute you can close the dispute. You will get your fees back and they will get a slap on the wrist from Ebay.
