Just to let everybody know that I finally received a phone call this afternoon from the buyer and the situation has now been resolved. He was extremely apologetic as he had ticked the pickup box in error, and despite his feedback of 253 indicating otherwise, had no idea how to contact me by email.

 

So that's one down and one to go. I also had a buyer on Sunday who made a $12 purchase but hasn't yet gone through checkout, and since then he's received an invoice from me and a reminder from eBay, yet still hasn't paid so it looks like I'll be lodging a UPI on Thursday. As I request payment at the time of ordering, I don't muck about. If they still haven't paid after 4 days they get hit with a UPI and go straight onto my BBL. I have absolutely no time at all for non-payers.

Well there you go did not even know you could do that, learn something new everyday

It's interesting when you look at other recent purchases for the non payers. I've noticed a few have bought a similar item a few bucks cheaper, so they then refuse to pay for the second one. If I can see they have bought a similar one cheaper, I don't even bother with a resend of the invoice, I just got straight for the jugular UPI. 0 feedback buyers I will try the communication route in case they're having trouble with the actual payment. I've talked a few through paying with PayPal and they've all been very grateful.

 

Glad it all worked out with your buyer.

Thanks sheep, although ultimately I blame eBay for all the difficulties which have recently eventuated for sellers, due to their stupid and ridiculous bloody rules and regulations (half of which aren't even legal). FGS, you only have to fart in the wrong direction around here to cop a defect and to be perfectly honest, I'm just about fed up with the whole business.

This would have to be the only selling venue on earth where sellers aren't even in control of their own businesses and I'm just not going to tolerate eBay's constant interference any more. I'm not restocking and as soon as I've sold most of my items, I'll be doing what I said I'd do last November (but relented at the very last minute), and telling eBay where to stick their site, and joining all the other rats leaving this rapidly sinking ship.

does anybody know where i can get some balloons and streamers ,

thats amazing a seller gets paid straight away and wants to cancil an order  ,i had to cover my ears with the words coming from its mouth   ,,i am in shock ,good luck in your next venture.
