What a tool!!

Guy just won my tom tom. Messages me straight after saying give me address and phone number so he can collect. I tell him no collection and im going to report him ( wouldnt have really, just said it for a laugh) he replies back saying he is going to report me for not providing collection address!!! Im raging, especially considering this guy has 150 feedback so isnt a novice. I want to make him pay for his stupidity now!! Lol

    Good grief, first phones now a Tom Tom.

    I understand why people might not want an item collected, I really do, but think of the savings in PayPal fees and as you are, shall we say 'unlucky' with your sales you also save issues with postage and receipt.

    You do realise the only person who can lose out here is you?

    Personally, I think your "laugh" is more stupid than him making a reasonable request.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    I just dont want random people coming to my house. I have a problem with it but i understand some people wouldnt. I would have offered to meet up somewhere mutual but he had already p'd me off by his second message.

    so you reporting him was a laugh but him reporting you is serious business. I'd suggest you stop trying to be 'funny'.

    Did the auction offer collection as an option?
    If not then no collection.
    The "reporting" thing is all a bit childish though.

    What he might well do is to pay for the item via paypal then when it gets delivered, claim that it's not as described or damaged.
    Even if this doesn't happen and they pay and are happy with it, there is nothing to stop them trashing your dsr stars and leaving neg feedback.

    He's getting reported because he wanted to collect? did you specify no collections?
    what's your eBay name so I can avoid buying from you?

    As a buyer, I would seriously be put off if a seller went to such extremes to avoid revealing where they are selling it from. Moreso if they then suggested I meet them at some dodgy rendezvous.
