    I’ve just rang eBay as you suggested @red_boots2. They will remove negative feedback after so many days ( can’t remember now how many) so hopefully that’s the end of it.

    Thanks to everyone for your responses and advice on this.

    Make sure to chase them up if they don't, they have a habit of saying they will remove then 'forgetting'

    Glad this was resolved - I had a scare just yesterday. 
    Sold an item on eBay for £750. 
    Buyer came to collect, on time, and seemed a nice gentleman to be fair. 
    Invited him in, got chatting etc while I let him test the drive on his laptop until he was happy. 
    He then left. 

    I forgot to get the collection code off of him!

    I realised 15 mins later. 
    Phoned him and he didn't answer. 
    Panic struck!

    Maybe he's driving home I thought - so I text him politely asking for the code.....and waited......

    Fortunately he replied a few minutes later with the code, which I put into the eBay transaction, and it was fine!

    Note to self - Always remember the code!!!!!!
