Air, that is classic. I wonder what the buyer did with it, do you think they burst it and breathed it. lol

i posted this on one of my forums and whilst not many people sold stuff one lady sold an empty sma formula tin for almost£5 and said it was a tin full of love she put a handwritten poem in it about her child growing up
anyway she emailed the buyer and the buyer knew exactly what it was and it was an empty tin..lol there really are some crackers people out there
i sold my paper rigby and peller bag (,my mum bought me some undies for my birthday) was going to throw it away and i got £5 for that

Hi All,
just a quick question, ive had one of my items up on ebay for just over 24 hours (10day bid period) and i have recieved a message from someone asking how much im willing to sell it for, and if i can end the auction early. and he is also willing to collect it, save on P+P.

my question is, if i offer him x amount and he accepts, can i just end the auction early? it doesnt have any bids on as yet, just a couple of people watching.

i will make sure i get a deposit or the full amount by Paypal before i end it (if i can end it early).

many thanks

If someone is collecting an item the safest way is to accept cash only. If there are any problems with the sale, Paypal require trackable information. Even though he/she signs a recept that item has been received, Paypal wouldn't accept this as proof.

Check on the Ebay boards - soolin is very good at this.

I agree with libra10 - only accept cash on collection. Any other method can leave you open to scammers. To answer your question, yes you can just end the item 'no longer for sale' or whatever other option suits you.

If you've had an offer already, are you sure you're getting what your item is worth?

That's interesting... I have in a little collection of paper bags: Jack Willis, a few Abercrombie and Fitch and Prada. Not that I've purchased from those stores though! May see if they will sell on ebay.

Thanks for the idea!

Ebay really frustrates me, I had an item selling that had 10!!!!! watchers, it went unsold last night........

I think maybe it wasnt sold though as it finished at 10:00pm last night. Guess I need to try and have them end at around 7:00pm maybe?????
