Oh crumbs, just checked ebay and I got a bid on a collection only item.

Great I thought until I looked at the buyers feedback.

She is a bad buyer. Only bought 5 things in last 3 months, left 1 neg and 1 neutral. The neg says wanted a refund, the sellers replied she has had her refund as she refused to collect the parcel from the sorting office.

The neutral says poor communication, but the seller has said that she wouldn't make arrangements to collect the item and turned up late at night unexpectedly.

The other 3 feedback are a bit moany as well.

To cancel her bid, or not, that is the question. ................?

I haven't put anything on ebay for months as dread the hassle but I should as got loads to get rid of :o:o but post has gone up so much now:eek: and then the fees sometimes you wonder if it worth it(even on the free listing)

Think BP sorting out the meeting place/restaurant as local to her so is she aware to check for you.

Actually we had a conversation about this when returning from Newquay few days back after seeing a women at our local station wating at the bottom of the stairs hoping a kind hearted person would come along to help her up with her buggy. Said to DH what if you were disabled God knows how they would get off the platfrom as only the stairs:eek:and a wheelchair is not easy to lift. I thought there was a law that all premises had to provide disabled access these days :eek::eek::eek::mad:.

I think the law says you need disabled access if its possible and practical to install it.

I only listed it at weekend so 8 days to go, but it worries me she might be the only bidder:(

I still list as much as I can on ebay, I know a lot of other mse'ers do too.

As you charge the buyer for the postage its not a great problem tbh, but I only list of free listing days.

You could do a car boot sale to get rid of your stuff (weather permitting of course):rotfl:but you get your hagglers and difficult buyers there too.:rotfl:

Glad that the "pain in the butt" has been off sick, hope he is of for a very long time and it gives you a nice break from him.

A lot of bosses can be so unappreciative of their staff. Its stupid as the actual workers can make or break a company. Good staff are worth there weight in gold tbh. So give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. Your boss is a selfish prat
