Listed one of our cars. Got cheesed off waiting, so put it up with a buy it now.

1 minute later it sells to a buyer with no history at all on ebay.

How long do I give it before I relist? I've emailed and asked him to make contact asap, but am somewhat dubious as to whether that is going to happen.

Unless you had any specific requirements for contact/payment/collection, I'd say 24 hours was the max I would wait for contact.

If they won early in the day I would expect contact that day personally.

Answered that question. Noticed a mobile number on the send invoice page. Rang it and bloke claims to have no idea what I'm going on about.

Relisted, with the buyer requirements that seem to have fallen off. Bloody Ebay.

It would be terrible if the mobile number happened to make its way onto an Internet site whose members aren't fond of timewasters.

It's not the most detailed advert I agree. But I don't really see the point in telling everyone that a 520D has power steering and electric windows etc.

Bit confused really.

Bit harsh posting his mobile number, for all you know he's had his ebay account hacked or similar.

Might not be as harsh as you first think...

Hi Will. It is - but I'm having to use it for work which piles the miles on as the wife wants me to leave the Merc behind for taking dog when I'm on a long run.

Selling the Car is the First Stage of a three stage plan. Stage two was discussed last night elsewhere...
