glad to hear that the sale went fine. I for one certainly wouldnt like an ebayer to come to my house for collecting an item - only if there was a few people going to be here and there was no alternative way of sending the item

What is it with some people, years ago people sold things through the small ads, why are thing so different these days? Are 'ebayers' murderers and rapists? No they are the same people who would have come to your house a few years ago but now own a computer!

but you should be wary of buyers bidding on chainsaws for this particular reason.

But unfortunately things HAVE changed... I worked briefly as a letting negtiator... and there used to be a time many years ago when female negotiators didn't get abducted too... Sorry but my personal safety is more important than someone elses convenience in picking up an item I have listed without stating it's ok for them to come pick them up from my home. If ever you want to know what horrible people are out there who do despicable things then live next door to a copper and hear what kind of things they get called out to... People have changed and not in a good way on the most part.
