Just waiting for the excuses to start....

I won an item on Friday from a seller with about 50 feedback, generally positive with the odd quibble about dispatch time.
This would normally go for £6-7, I got it for £2.30 with free delivery, meant to be sent first class recorded.
Now am I being too cynical, as I'm sitting here waiting for the "oops it's broken, can we cancel?" message.

Yes, it's only been 2 days after the sale, over a weekend.
Give them a chance at least, unless their feedback suggests they are untrustworthy.

seller could turn around and give you an excuse but highly unlikely....do they want to risk negative feedback for a few pounds. I'm sure they'll honour it.

I've won books for 99p with free postage and they have always posted them out. I'm sure you'll get it

The dispatch time issue might concern me but in general I have never had a problem with this either (except on another fixed price site where it took one seller three weeks and a dispute to send me an item priced slightly lower than usual).

I bid on an auction with a BIN, And a £50 start with a reserve.

I was the 2nd bidder and didnt meet the reserve so only bid £51.

This was less than 1/3rd of his BIN price so kept looking.

Several days later i got a 2nd chance offer at the £51.

Shocked was an understatement.

Out of curiosity, how did this work out in the end?

It came - I stand corrected. And still a little surprised. Although I've diddled myself on postage in the past, I never completely expect other people to do the same.

Glad it worked out
