    is the money cleared into your paypal account? Are the funds available to spend or withdraw?


    I don't know. The figure is "completed" so I assume it is cleared?


    On further searching hes also bought these items:

    Which makes him look more acceptable as a buyer from my point of view. However I'm gullable and might be wrong hence I'd appreciate your thoughts and opinions.

    PS These items above were neat when I first posted but was missed up once I saw it in the thread.

    Do you think it was a good idea posting the buyers details here? If I was the buyer I would be hacked off.

    @OP it looks like you are looking for trouble where there isn't any, and as already said posting someones personal details on the web is a NO NO.

    01622 is a maidstone number, but really have to paste so much detail?
    In my opinion if you want to be covered send by trackable means. You only want to be concerned about dodgy ebayers when sending something that isn't trackable or insurable such as vouchers via e-mail.

    No I don't think it was a good idea, however I was panicing as I was trying to discover how to check out potential suspicious buyers as I could go through a check process when I last used Ebay with verified users and confirmation of addresses. I then posted the details out of rushing and frustration.

    I can send this special delivery today and it will still have been there quicker than if I'd sent it by Parcelforce as the post office quoted 4 or 5 days so the buyer maybe annoyed but they'd be just as annoyed anyway.
