Dusty when you go onto my ebay there will be an option of making a second chance offer in the drop down next to where it says they won.

What I would do - email back stating they won the auction, if they wish to not continue with the purchase request that they pay the fees it has cost you (and any paypal charges) and you will relist the item. If not let them pay, send it recorded and then blurt in their face when they say they didn't get it. Claim back through royal mail if they say it is lost in post.

You can put a dispute stating person decided no longer wanted item, you will get fees back and they won't get a strike, or you can be evil make them get a strike or pay up.

I USED to sell a lot, can you tell :rotfl: Just packed up the 5 items I have sold so that lot is done. Think I will wait until we move to list anything else as I don't know if internet connection will be straight on etc.

Packed up 6 boxes of stuff tonight so that's me done for this evening.

Ebay ? Someone who has one a bid on one of my things now says that they don't want it as they bid on lots of similar items and won them all. They have over 500 stars so not a novice. It is only for £8.50 and had lots of watchers. They say they will buy if they must but I bet they will say it did not arrive etc - what do you experts think?

Do a dispute thing mutually agree not to complete the transaction and offer it as a second chance off to the next bidder.

Pigpen how do you know how many medicine spoons i have lurking in my kitchen drawer;)

Vanilla you dd looks so tiny not sure what her weight was in old money(can't work out g and kg) but my dd1 was 3lb 2oz at birth(7 wks early) then went down to 2lb 9oz
even though dd was bigger it still brings back memories seeing pics of your dd on here.

(a sniff over 2lb is 950g)

I can see your mess!!! you should know this by now.. I know about the binbags of junk you hide when visitors come over.. I know about it all!!!

Off to bed now.. before I fall asleep on the keyboard and before someone else posts something I NEED to reply to!

Dusty was just about to reply when I saw lil_me's reply! Someone with over 500 feedback know's the score and should not be trying it on with you. They know there is a contract to buy, but as lil_me says there are other options open to you. I have had people buy and then change their mind and provided they pay my fees then I do a mutual agreement not to proceed (once I have the money ) If you would have been happy with the runner's up bid then do a 2nd chance offer to them (from memory I think you can put a reason for the offer ie 1st buyer let you down). It all depends on your buyer's attitude as to how you take it from here.

I currently have some numpty who bought last Tuesday from me knowing they would prob not get the item by Saturday (wanted it for a wedding) and is now wanting me to refund despite me pointing out that it was highly unlikely to get there and suggesting recorded or special delivery as alternatives. 'Oh well too late for the wedding - refund please.' copied from his latest email, I shall be very politely telling him to go and co co

Old microwave now freecycled will be collected Sunday so saves taking that to tip. DP a little miffed as I decided I didn't want the white kettle I bought, wanted a silver one to match everything else, so go it, was under £10 not exactly a flashy one etc but he still had a moan. Told him he can have the white one in his garage aswell as some coffee etc then he can make his own cuppas all day, he declined. He has been a bit more helpful today but very shouty aswell as he was tired.

Right, my list for tomorrow

Phone calls to start with

Doctors, opticians, bank, TV licence peeps, garage, estate agents, hospital, trading standards (incase garage mess us about)

Take over to house, 2 runs at least I think - alternative desk, filing cabinet, shelving rack, shoe rack, drawers that will fit, sandpit if it'll fit, boxes & bags I have packed, fish tank ? if feeling brave, bar stools

Finish building DS2s bed, take shelf off DS1s bed (darn PC doesn't fit with both on!)
Clean kitchen
Have another go at icky oven
Unpack some stuff
Get DS2 to do homework!
Help DP run car club

evening all, hmmm, it's morning now!

i've been really busy all day though not flying. got my writing finished and submitted (about 30 mins ago).

it has been a day of up and downs today. got a job interview on thurs in London, really pleased, it's the one i went for with the lowest pay but it's a start and it means i am doing something right! writing finished period started (knew i couldn't be pregnant but you do start to wonder!), OHs sis suspected miscarriage (her 2nd in a few months), Oh is v upset and angry.

so no flying but i did do a top up shop at tesco including some trousers and a top for interview (i have no smart clothes!) might have to dig out some heels. am going to s&S kitchen before bed and put the WM on the timer to come on in the night. i'll do kitchen and lounge tomorrow as i'm in in the evening. out 10-5 working. so, my list for tomorrow:

kitchen list
living room list
deposit to florist
clean washing away
spin & empty WM
2 bags to charity shop
1 job application
pack 2 boxes books

others might have better ideas but i think stain devils and the dylon stain removers are good

on a similar note i forgot to say - i managed to leave a biro next to my electric hotplate (accidentally left on full) today and it's melted and left a right mess on the cooker! :rotfl::rotfl:

kaz - think it was you with the headache. i had one for ages, finally shifted with codeine and an indian head massage!
