    Irrespective of what we all think, the seller does not want cash on collection. So open a NPb after four days and then after four more you can close it, getting back your fvfs. If they leave a negative you can have it removed. Block his user id.

    Shouldn't you have emailed to ask about collection before you placed a bid on the auction?

    Good result but I don't think I would have done this.

    'Buyers' of this sort cannot be trusted to do a mutual properly which can leave you stuck with paying fees.

    That's a shame... a strike might have given him a wakeup call.

    Quite agree, if there is one thing I do find annoying is buyers who start asking questions or making demands after making a bid or winning the auction.

    HELP

    He did agree to mutally withdraw but now he has left negative feedback

    He has put "refused to sell as price was too low Rip off.

    we've replied to it saying:

    "Maybe if you had paid you would of recieved the item - instead you sent threats"

    Can i ask ebay to remove his comment?

    Start a non paying bidder thing with Ebay. Then the feedback will be removed.
