Morning all

A simple question really...

I sold a bucket seat on eBay on Monday, it took the buyer until weds morning to pay, and has yet to communicate with me at all despite numerous requests to confirm how he'll collect it...

So the question is as per title, how long until I refund his dosh and send him on his way??

I've only ever sold a few cheap things so not that clued up on typical process here...

Ah right, thanks guys massively appreciated, I had no idea. Ironically I figured I would be 'safer' using paypal

The buyer has tons of recent feedback which is why it's thrown me that they've paid but now won't reply to anything.

So if I refund him and ask for cash on collection that wouldn't be seen as dodgy in itself?

It is frankly in the way so I just want shot of it!

Also, it's an odd looking setup, it's under the name gaijin.motors but the shipping address seems to be some sort if courier/transport location in dartford.

Has 1000's of positive feedback comments and no negatives...

No he's miles from me and i did write collection only all over the ad and paypal, the cost of shipment wouldn't be far off the cost of the seat!!

I totally accept that not everyone has web access 24/7, that said he's had 4 days...
