What are the odds?

I just did a £300 off ebay deal with a girl who lives 2 doors away from me!
Got the paypal payment, looked at the address and just popped round knocked on her door and delivered them.
Hilarious.

    Be careful.

    You don't have proof of delivery, so if she did a paypal chargeback you'd lose

  • How annoying to have paid paypal fees when you could have had the money in cash!
    I have had brain surgery - sorry if I am a little confused sometimes ;)

    She'd have to have some balls to pull a stunt like that when she lives 2 doors away from me - especially as we are definitely the black sheep in our very upper middle class street ;+)

    Yea could do a paypal refund and get her to pay cash but not fussed really just made me laugh.
    It's one of those streets (well has become one of those streets) where no one talks to eachother.

    my mate sold 2 furniture items to 2 different buyers on different days, same week.
    he offered to deliver himself for 95 quid each. (large items).
    both buyers 200 miles away.
    and they lived one street from each other!
    what a great result!!!
    Get some gorm.
