To everybody who wondered how the buyer could pay for the item only (no postage) stampdog is quite right when he suggests that I have the pickup option selected in my listings.

I've had interstate buyers in the past who have paid for the item only and had friends or relatives who live locally collect the item on their behalf and I don't have an issue with that.

However, such buyers normally send an email to indicate that this is the case but on this occasion I've heard absolutely nothing from the buyer and neither has he replied to my email.

If I've still heard nothing by the end of the week, I suppose I'll have to contact eBay and get their phone number and give them a call. Lot of work for a lousy $6.90 sale though.
