    Yep.
    Now she says she is going on holiday and so cannot collect it.

    She only lives 20 min away.

    I agree ... often that sort of person is the one to put a query in, and give you bad feedback!

    She has paid today but not replied to my asking when she would collect. Messer.

    Tell her you'll drop it off at the local tip for her to collect, suggest leaving your business card ;)

    He he.

    I think I will leave it a week, refund her and relist it.

    Not a very MSE day. DH's birthday on Friday.

    I do wonder at people on eBay


    I sold a dress on Sunday, with 2nd class postage, she paid promptly, and I parcelled it up.


    Then the next morning she messaged and said could I send it 1st class, as she wants it by Wednesday.


    Really, the opportune time to say that was before she paid.... then I could have sent her an invoice for 1st class postage.


    It's only 40p more, but it just bugs me that people think they can ask for more than they paid for - it's rude !


    In the event, I did send it 1st class, but messaged to say it'd be appreciated if she she'd send me another 40p by PayPal.


    Needless to say, she hasn't paid and she's now on my blocked bidders list.


    Do people behave like this in all areas of their life, or is it just eBay where they think bad behaviour is acceptable?


    Rant over! :rotfl:

    house looks amazing and so do the prospective ones!

    agree about Ebay, full of time wasters i had my only neg feedback in 10 years last week for someone who said they wanted item for an event and it didn't arrive in time... i tracked it as arrived within 48 hours of her paying.
