Would that reply even fit haha

As alluded to previously , the first responders & subsequent  ,  got it  "spot on "  with their

helful advise & sympathetic responses to a fairly innocouse concern ( only sell

these annoying 2 strokes for "beer money" ) , that was really my 

misguided attempt at resolution that caused it  initially !

So one call to E/B ,  & back to 100% positive !....it's enough to warm

the heart of this old Harley rider !!

I must say I was super impressed with their quick phone back , assessment of the issues

& the determination...and NOT just because they found in my favour...it was gnuinely impressive !!

Thanks again ,  & hopefully I will not need to trouble you again for a while....

Michael.

Great result Micheal, I've been following this thread from the beginning and the advice on getting eBay CS to phone you back was the right one as you usually get a more informed rep that way.

Hopefully ebay will have had a word with the "buyer" about the unfair neg - but I kind of doubt it unfortunately..................

Think your buyer has a post up about this too in the Answer Centre section.

Not the same buyer

This one?

Clearly listed as PICK UP only. Buyer didn't pay or pick up & negs me?

Yep, should do, it is 70 characters including spaces.

But luckily the person won't need to, it seems they had the unfair neg removed.

So true,  I have had neg feedbacks from NON paying buyers in countrys I do not ship to i.e Israel..   How can they buy an item when shipping is not offered to their country, how can they leave bad feedback without paying?

If they haven't paid and you open and close a non paying dispute, eBay will remove the feedback. If it doesn't happen automatically, a phone call should see it removed (or get them to call you back if you don't want to sit on hold for hours).
