Selling Large Kitchen Appliances

[camra1958]

If I sell a very large kitchen appliance collection only and receive an offer which says + postage. What does this mean? Who organises collection, packaging etc and how is it paid for?

[**peaseblossom**]

If you've listed as collection by buyer only, which you have, I would stick to that.   Ask for cash on collection.    If the buyer wants to arrange a courier and you're OK with that it would be something they'd sort out and pay for but it's safer for you to have buyer collect and pay cash.

Has the buyer mentioned postage in the offer message field or are you seeing it as part of the offer form? If the latter and this is a collection item then just ignore it, it's not applicable to your listing.

What it means on an ordinary auction/BIN, that any offer does not include whatever postage is quoted. If person makes an offer then they should reduce theiroffer by the amount of the postage, then if offer accepted, they only pay the amount they wanted to pay in total.

It is really up to you to arrange any packaging if needed, and in terms of paying for packaging then you either include it in the price or enter it in postage Which is P & P.

If buyer arranges collection and do not pay in cash, then they have no protection from the ebay money back guarantee if the courier breaks something, however shouldthis happen and buyer opened a Not as described case, you would need to point  out to ebay that they used a courier, as ebay would not know that money back guarantee does not apply.
