    So how do you intend to deal with the original sale?

    you do realise you have fees to pay and a buyer able to leave you feedback and stars?

    I go back to my original question , can your account take any more issues, are you monitoring your expanded dashboard.

    Also, if this is a wind up- and I tend to have a blind side with people winding me up....then please don't . Pretending to be such an awful seller might be amusing to you on a wet and windy evening but many of the regulars here go out of their way to help people who have genuine problems and shouldn't have to waste their time with made up scenarios.

    I shouldn't laugh but this threat has amused me.

    Massive over reaction to someone wanting to collect. Apparently saying 'I'm sorry, I don't offer collections' is too much if a hassle. Resort to threats ASAP.

    Can you give us all your username so we can make sure we don't buy from you at any point?

    Please do, I certainly don't want to buy from you.

    Your all idiots. Why should i have to deal with all the bs of cancelling transactions and relisting. Ebay is delivery FIRST! if you want to collect you ask first. Im not up for bringing some big nob to my doorstep.

    I buy stuff off local sellers all the time. I ask them when they want me to collect, tell them any times that are bad for me. Show up, give them the money, take the item, everybody's happy. Now and then I'll spot something in their unsold items I fancy, and ask them if they've still got it and sort a price out.

    Likewise, I sell stuff online (not ebay) most weeks, and I've rarely had a problem. People show up more or less when they say they will, the kettle's on waiting, and I've met some lovely people (and made a few add-on sales :D).
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    It must be a wind-up as it makes no sense to threaten a buyer just for asking a question. BUT no excuse for name calling :(.

    I want to know how someone was going to find an address to collect a TomTom without the TomTom to guide him there?

    Well, there's one idiot, anyway.

    (And all because of the sale of a little bongo!)

    Yet the buyer can easily find your address anyway. Ebay will give it to them.
