    Just as a starter, I had a large stone item up for sale, weighed several kilo. Chap turned up to collect it last week on a pedal bike.....he could barely lift it let alone hang onto it and cycle at the same time.

    Also a couple of weeks ago I had someone 'buy' 2 items from me, quoted for postage and sent my PayPal ID and didn't hear back. Last week I had a message asking where their items were- so I pointed out they hadn't been sent as buyer hadn't paid. Her response was 'I thought I'd wait until I got them, chose the one I wanted and sent back the other one with a payment for the one I wanted, seemed simpler that way'......when I said no, she said 'but all the other sellers allow me to do that'!
