    Hi Aaron,

    Your payment for the phones was made Tuesday. I can confirm the items were posted the following day and should be with you shortly.

    Regards

    I wouldn't post on here with a link to your auction identifying your selling ID. There are a lot of people out there who will happily auction wreck. Its not worth the risk

    He only bought one, why's he mention "phones"? Although, he can't use the Shift key, so he's probably not the most intelligent of idiots (is it the school holidays, per chance)?

    I'd be tempted to forward the message to the feedback extortion email thingy, see what they say about it

  • Another one for the BBL - thanks for leaving his ID in :D
  • These types of buyers make me really cross, I hope you report him for feedback extortion.

    Have had similar cases where the buyer has emailed me in error - I normally reply along the lines above "are you sure this was ment for me..." and more often than not get an apology.

    I have asked him if they have sent the message in error, will await and see, but I am not sure what I could have done, paid on Monday posted on Tuesday..... if I sent it by courier it wouldn't have gone any faster....:(
