    Thanks for that

    I will have a look about, not much of a car person myself (can you tell :D )

    It was a Daihatsu Hijet Jiffy Van

    But I will take the advice onboard, Ive been reading around and alot of people suggest that C.O.D Payments are covered by eBay anyway

    thanks for the laugh tho..

    I'm glad it made you laugh.. but I am very confused by your comment. You told the seller to enjoy the van or to pay £200. I don't get how that makes sense.

    I think that was what he was suggesting the OP should say to the buyer.

    Thats how I read it anyway.

    Hi, no... after his first email, though kindly worded I expected a follow up like this unfortunately, so as it stands no feedback has been left and its not marked as paid

    and as it was a private sale :
    Caveat Emptor

    This is true providing that the van that was sold wasn't a business asset or had been used in the course of a business.
    If this is the case then irrespective of the sellers ebay registration, it won't be a private sale but a business one.

    I was going to say exactly what Shaun has, but he beat me to it. A catering van sounds very much like a business asset to me.

    VAT would have been payable if this was the case.
