“I’d definitely take it if you’re prepared to box it up and wait in from 9-5 between now and Friday for my courier to collect.“
OMG, this, a lot.
Pretty much every time I list something on ebay for collection only, I will get questions about this, or worse, someone wins and tells me they will send a courier. Then goes quiet and ignores the communications from ebay about cancelling the transaction. Meanwhile ebay have charged me the final fee value and I’m out of pocket until the request times out and I get a credit three weeks later.
I even had someone tell me it’s fine, that they’ll arrange the postage and all I need to do is wrap it up, attach a label and drop it off at a collection point five miles away. That is literally about 98% of what would be involved if I offered postage from the outset, do they really think it’s the two minutes typing in an address that is the issue here ? T**ts.
Next time I’ll specify that a courier is fine as long as they provide all the packing materials, wrap the item, label it, and can guarantee to pick up at 19:40 next Thursday.
And I bet I’ll still get idiotic questions.
