Item listed (in error) as collection only .. Purchased by non local

I listed a small item but for some reason listed it as collection only, rather than adding the £3 postage
Somebody has just bought it and paid the selling price, which is what made me investigate further. As I said, I listed it in error as collection only
Do I just 'take the hit' or message the buyer. OK I made a mistake (I agree there) but so did the buyer, buying an item listed as collection only. If it had been a pram for example, the problem would have been more serious
thanks for any input

Are you sure they are not going to collect?
What is the item value, I would be more inclined to post it if it was £3 on a £1000 item, less so if it was £5.
If it's listed as collect only, I would message the buyer and point out that it is that, and say you can post it for an extra £3 if they want to go ahead.0 -
Have they actually said they are not able to collect?
E.g I buy collection only items for 160 miles away from my post code because my parents will collect!Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
I would contact them and see if they are collecting. Hint at postage costing ££ but dont ask for it. If they offer then good if not your down £3.
Find the cheapest service to send it.
Had a guy come down from Scotland for some RC parts. Seems he bought a lot of stuff from all over and making it a road trip.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

OP here ..
I just sent a message, written as if a 'standard note' asking when they would like to collect, as the item had been listed as collection only.
I left it at that .. as if I didn't know they were at Lands End.
They will probably cancel now as they'll realise they made a mistake, or maybe were trying a 'fast one' knowing postage was not included.
The item was only worth £80
