Seems like a catch 22. Good thing I don't care whether I sell on ebay or not.0

Have they paid or was it cash on collection? I've 'sold' a cooker twice on ebay now and no-one has pitched up to pay and take it away - it's very irritating!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

It is irritating. They have paid but the thing is the size of a Robin Reliant.
Lots of horror stories on here about ebay refunding collectors EVEN WHEN SELLER HAS A PHOTO OF THEM COLLECTING IT!0 -

I had a collection only item (granite worktop) on ebay which the buyer paid Payp@l for. Was really worried as it was a brand new account (that day) with no feedback but figured I wanted shot so if I got a chargeback and lost the money I was no worse off; waited for weeks in case of any issues but never heard a thing. Luck of the draw I guess.0 -
