what to do when you sell a heavy/fragile item clearly stating collection only.
only for when the auction ends for the winning bidder to ask you post .(message says will pay postage,except if damaged in post,send me packaging if needed)



right still no contact, 3days since ended yesterday so sent another invoice.
so 4th day today,is it to early to file a non payment or should i hang on a little longer. would normally wait 7 days before doing this but as hes so far away i'm not sure he'll collect or should i give him the benifit of the doubt and wait.

I would refuse.
If you clearly stated collection only and they didn't query this prior to bidding, then refuse.

You are the seller, you dictate conditions.

If you want to post, add a decent amount to the invoice, then see how quickly the buyer retracts.

thank you both for confirming what i was thinking
he didn't contact me before bidding
i have now sent him a reply saying: sorry no,collection only as stated in listing.
not reply as yet
thing is i'm in somerset and he's from london, so who knows how he'll react to my message
