Sorry soo, hit return and had to add the edit, so apols.

Op. Get real, you are going on holiday, you chose when to list. It's not eBay being prohibitive. Clearly you don't know how eBay works. Buyers in effect get 8 days to pay. It's no secret.

OK so I don't know all of the ins and outs of ebay, I don't do it as a living, only occasionally. No need to be rude about it! I'm not a business seller. I have tried to contact the buyer repeatedly and presumed by her silence that she didn't want the item, I thought rather than raise a NPB I'd give her the easy way out and let her cancel the sale then I'd get my FVF credit. I honestly thought a week ( I leave tomorrow ) would be enough to resolve any issues, I've had other NPB during that time and managed to either get payment or resolve one way or the other. This buyer is just being really random. But sod it, I will go on holiday not worry about it (life really is too short) and if I get a neg I get a neg. I don't think the buyer is being deliberately malicious, I think she is just confused about how ebay works and/or doesn't understand much english.

My comments were because you blamed eBay. It's not eBay. It's you. You chose to sell without enough time, so your flippant remark about your holiday was replied to.

Perhaps your buyer is going to pay within the eBay timeframe. Just a shame it doesn't suit you eh?

As I said, life's too short. Anyway I got the answer I wanted from the other posters, thanks
