Am I being trolled?

Given your posts I'd say that was poacher turned gamekeeper if it was happening.

Because I pointed out some rather questionable behaviour of yours in another thread you're going to stalk me now aren't you.

Yeah. That's clearly what has happened. It's not like they've been posting on here since the first page.

Oh wait...

Not really. It happens quite a lot. Any number of reasons why, most of them not suspicious.

There are other quotes, it just won't let me quote them all.

Daft suggestions like these??

Send an invoice, in lieu of reminder, then file a non payer report after 2 days should they not pay.

Probably two of the most useful posts on this thread (not including mine of course...LOL)

Send an invoice, in lieu of reminder, then file a non payer report after 2 days should they not pay.
Your buyer may have died in between accepting the counter offer and starting to pay. It's a long shot but might help alleviate your stress levels.

Suggesting the buyer might have died in between accepting the counter offer and paying is one of the best suggestions in the thread?

Brilliant.

It strikes me that the buyer dying between accepting your offer and paying is just as likely as you rumbling a scam based on a buyer not paying immediately...LOL!!;)

The pair of you have been trolling all through this thread.

I thought these were supposed to be serious forums that offer help.

Oh Yay I'm a troll. With RFW too... I have arrived. Nothing like a newbie accusing people of trolling!

RFW already being an established MSE poster...

Off to troll (pack orders)

You should see what I am accused of elsewhere, but then of course I don't have the benefit of a whole month of selling experience.

You really didn't understand that post did you.

I wasn't claiming to be experienced.

I was pointing out that even someone with zero experience quickly realises that the 'contracts' on ebay are absolutely worthless.

I know I have no selling experience, that's the reason I'm asking questions on here.

If this forum is just an "I know more than you" excercise what on earth is the point?

I've been using ebay for about a month an I know that's nonsense.

A contract:D

You said it like you've been using ebay for a month so you know better. Contracts being worthless isn't how you said it before. You said that's nonsense, which was taken as you saying they were wrong and there are no contracts. The big grin emoticon after a contract also suggests you were making fun of it all.

I know text can be taken the wrong way sometimes but judging by replies on here no one took it the way you are now claiming it to be and surely you can understand how it could be read totally different.

This forum is a great place to get help, but you need to be polite, explain yourself properly, not call people racists and trolls and realise that these people do have more experience not only on ebay but with posts on here. We do notice when people are advertising their own sites and most of us reply on multiple threads. We're not being racist or stalking you. People will help you and there has been good advice in this thread.
