What is the "etc etc etc"?

Special Delivery will have adequate insurance assuming the item isn't a prohibited item.

You do realise the seller has the money in his pocket. If anyone should be worried right now it should be the buyer.

Puzzled why the OP things that taking the money from the bank protects them?

In the unlikely event of the money being reclaimed or other banking issue that will put the OP overdrawn with potential charges. Which will ruin their credit file.

I would leave the money in until the items received and everyones happy.

The OP is safe if the payment was a cash deposit/transfer (as I outlined earlier). I assume they checked with their bank the payment wasn't a cheque deposit.

HI
i don't know of anyway to make a cheque deposit at 10pm ish on a friday night?
as for my problems starting:- how many special delivery items do royal mail loose, its insured for £250 and its nothing illegal (headphones)
taking the money from my bank made me feel better

i thought i was a suspicious person, guess am not the only one by some of the comments made here.

thanks everyone, i will comment again to let you all know how it played out. be it good or bad

Indeed but an international deposit would show as such.

I don't live in the UK but my main business is there. My out of UK transactions show as such.

Wifes friend (mentioned in post #9) had a UK buyer etc but the payment was being made with a French account.
