seller being difficult over collection!! Grrr!

As Crow has said, all you need to do is provide ebay with your paypal number ( from paying) and then if he does not get in touch from there then you go to paypal and claim your money back. He will have so many days to either refund himself or prove you have the item (ie Royal mail tracking number)
Although I would really doubt he will go down that route as you have tried to sort out collection and he is being difficult. chances are he does not want to sell it for the winning price and wants to just forget it.

The only good thing to say is that he will still have to pay the listing fee etc so although you have not got what you wanted he is out some money too.

If you have such tight times when you can collect then perhaps you should have discussed this with the seller before you bid. We all have lives, seller included, and difficult buyers like you can be just as much of a nightmare to them as they are to you.

To me this is one of those six of one, half dozen of the other problems...and is why collections are such a pain in the butt.

I didn't have tight time that I could collect, I told him I could collect on about 8 occasions I listed them all to him, but the time he wanted me to collect was a 30 min time slot, that my husband was at work at which he knew, after I had said when we couldn't collect.
If you want someone to buy something, and collect on one day, in a 30 min time slot it should have said in the listing something like " Buyer must collect on saturday between 11.30am and 12pm otherwise please do not bid" rather than, buyer to collect - no time wasters.
I wasnt wasting time, I simply wanted to pick up, and I had a selection of times morning and in evenings or anytime the weekend after. But he was difficult and rude. I wasn't being difficult in anyway! Its you time wasting sellers that do not want to sell an item for a low price, and refuse collection of item, when it doesn't sell for a price that is what you wanted!

A bit unfair when the seller is stipulating a single half hour when the buyer could come and collect it.

Sellers of collection only items should really accept that they have to be a bit more flexible than that if they actually want to sell their item.

How utterly rude. If they didn't want it to go for so little they should've added a reserve price.
I've sold lots of things that have required a collection and I've never had a problem. I've never been rude, I've always let the buyer know when and what times myself, or someone else, is around and if they can't make it at a certain time, we simply work around it. After all, they're going out their way to come to a strangers house to take something they clearly don't want or need.

A little give and take is all that needed. Sellers such as this give the rest of us a bad name.
