So yesterday, I listed around 20 items. All with strict instruction of buyer pick up, cash only, no PayPal, pick up within 7 days. All items to go to auction, no buy it now etc, etc.
30+ eBay emails later within 24 hours, I'm pulling my hair out. Will I ship to Tasmania? Will I take $120 now? what size of the trailer? (When I stated 6x4. ) How long do I have to pick up? And on and on and on. It shouldn't be rocket science.
I responded to one intelligent question, and he thanked me!!! So I replied with "OMG you are the first person in 6 years on ebay to thank me"
Finally I got a response of " would I send my 6 x 4 trailer to ... ( northern QLD). I cracked it. I figured he had to be a scammer or just an eejit.
Im hoping you can read the attached pic, which was my response.
I'm over it and no longer care if one person rates me badly on EBay ;)
Oh, and there is nothing wrong with the trailer, I was being facetious ;)

To read that MJ first thing in the morning has put a smile on my face. What a good start to the day. What a letter. A good laugh for sure, this end anyway but I'm convinced you weren't laughing at the time.
Keep us posted if you get a reply.

MJ, loved it.
one question if I may, I thought a seller HAD to use/offer PayPal to be able to sell on eBay, has this changed over recent times?

I was chuckling big time when I wrote it. Suspect a scammer, they're hard work. Don't think I'll be troubled again.
Also, Wombat, you HAVE to tick the PayPal box, but can also tick cash on pick up. Many peeps do it that way and state cash only.
