fast payment required but slow despatch

Ha, just bought something as a BIN from a private seller (actually a business) who has lots of terms and conditions about time wasters and how he isn't responsible for items lost in the post if buyers don't take the optional upgrade to special delivery - blah blah blah. It was a bargain though as I think he has frightened away all the other buyers
Although he mentions several times that he requires immediate payment and will not tolerate people who pay slowly he then has his messages set to send a standard email after payment explaining that he works away and can only post out on a Saturday morning .His despatch time as per the listing shows 3 days.
I must stop buying bargains from daft sellers.

Nah its worth it though. Get items cheap then sell them on at a profit:D
Assuming this arrives and all is good then I have an item that usually sells for around the £70-£75 for around the £56 delivered mark. 2nd class post though as he wanted and extra £7 for special delivery and I'm obviously not bothered about insurance upgrades.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

This was a one off item for my OH so I'm probably not going back anytime soon.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
