ok before i go
mrs B if he just turns up at my house as i have texted him my address stupidly and he wants the item but refuses to pay cash and accept paypal what do i do?:o

serial paranoid worrier here but just planning ahead

Firstly, I'd contact the buyer (through ebay messaging, so that you have a trail) saying that you are busy until (a time when you will not be alone in the house, and have another adult with you - this just makes cautionary sense) and ask them to suggest a time to pick up the item.
Remember that it is your house, so you need to agree on a time for the buyer to come, especially if he/she had to travel some distance.
As for the not reponding to texts thing, it's been a nice weekend. Could be the buyer has gone off camping/surfing/ for a naughty weekend and their phone is switched off/out of battery/ out of range, so there's no need to worry yet.

It was suggested in a thread on the ebay board that if a buyer is determined to pay by pp for a pick up item, you can make it clear to them that you as a seller have no protection from ebay if they collect so you will have to offer delivery for them should they not wish to pay cash on collection, if that is what they wish you can give them a quotre for the cost.
A bulky item like a bed will be expensive to post, but you can get a quote online from courier companies quite easily so can give a quote if needed. Most people would be happy to pay cash when they pick up the item.

I would post this query on the ebay board. I think you'll be told to cancel the Paypal payment, but it's been a while since I sold on ebay so I'm a bit unsure and I can't find something explicit on the board, sorry. My eyes are wanting me to sleep now, so I have to go, but please post over there - Soolin is amazing and will give you great advice.

And now I've caught up ..... no-one here

Anywway, it's been hot here today. 28 degrees and it was 22 degrees during the night :eek:

I went down to the car boot late morning and had a chat and wander, then had my breakfast/lunch and then a cuppa and chat with a mate after he packed his gear up. Then I went to B&Q with my 20% code for this weekend I got 2 x 5 litres of my Crown emulsion, gloss paint, pollyfilla, brushes, and other decorating bits, plus a ceiling fan for the bedroom and a new mop It came to £156 :eek: :eek: but I got £31 discount which means I got my ceiling fan for nowt as the other things I got were at good prices anyway :j :j

The clouds were coming over when I got home but the temperature still high. My great friends from Portsmouth rang and I had a good laugh with them and after that I decided to do some gardening out the back, pulling out thistles and other weeds and cutting back the rasps/blackberries a bit more. Looking a bit better now I hadn't realised that when I was doing this the clouds had rolled over and the sun was scorching down again

I waited till it cooled down until taking the dogs out - the sun was about to set and was a gorgeous red against the Fen sky
