eBay sale - no contact from buyer
Discussion
I've never sold on eBay before, but decided to give it a shot. I sold an MOT failure on Saturday night, emailed the successful bidder on Sunday morning and again yesterday with no response.
I've looked at his feedback, which is all positive, except for what is said. What do people like arctic1234richard get out of doing this? It seems a pointless waste of time.
Given that I now have his address, which is fairly close to where I live, should I strip the car and dump the shell in his garden?

t. 
Having read his feedback I think you need to put it down to experience.
It does highlight one of ebays biggest failings, the buyers who have little intention of buying items and feel they are in the driving seat. (they generally are)
Ebay should ban buyers line that, but the then open a new account.
As suggested get it weighed in

Just had this happen to me with the sale of my car.
2000 page views and 70 recorded watchers; so things shaping up nicely for a good sale. The auction ended with a winning bid from Germany. He then kept me on a string for a while before dropping off the radar.
I opened a dispute case (to get my 'final value' fee refunded) but there was no facility to leave negative feedback. In the end I left positive feedback but wrote (in capital letters) what had actually happened.
I then discovered that at that same time I was selling my car, he was selling (on eBay) an almost identical vehicle!
He took out the competition.

Can you not set him up as a favorate seller and get an e-mail when he next lists something. Repay him as he did to you.2000 page views and 70 recorded watchers; so things shaping up nicely for a good sale. The auction ended with a winning bid from Germany.
