It is lovely to hear positive buyer stories because most of the time we only hear about bad buyers. I have had a few awesome buyers and I definitely make it known in feedback and also through messaging. Most of my buyers have been great, but a few really stood out from the crowd. My bad experiences have been very minimal.
From a buyers perspective, I saw something on eBay a couple of years ago, that was pick up only from Melbourne (I'm in Central West NSW). I knew this item would weigh a ton, but I still asked if the seller would be willing to post and if so, how much would it cost. To my surprise, it was about $45 (I thought it would be double that), which I was more than happy to pay, because these things don't come up very often. Right or wrong, I wanted it!! So, I bid and ended up winning the auction (where there was a LOT of interest). Seller packed it well and posted it off and I was one happy buyer when it arrived. She gave me some of the best feedback I've got off anyone, so I think she really appreciated having an obliging buyer too. She even sent me a message saying she was glad I won it because she knew how much I wanted it. Of course if she said she wouldn't post, I wouldn't have bid (and probably would have sat in the corner for a week and cried!).
Maybe we could keep this thread going with great buyer stories, to keep them separate from bad buyer stories? I'm sure most here would have a positive story to tell.
