    <title>topic Re: Buyer won't collect item, but has paid.  What now? in Seller Central</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;Is it something that could easily be sold again, or is it rarer with a very small 'target audience'?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If it's the former, I'd send a final email to the buyer giving him 2 weeks to make up his mind. If you *still* hear nothing back, refund him and put the item back on sale.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So long after the actual sale, you can have no worries about ebay taking some sort of action against you.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As long as you have a good 'paper trail' of emails showing you've tried to do your best, well.... you've done your best!&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:"&gt;😁&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If it was the latter type of object, then it's unlikely the buyer would have been so cavalier about something difficult to find, and isn't just ignoring you.&amp;nbsp; So it has to be considered that the buyer is no longer in a position to collect or communicate (they may even be dead...&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_frowning_face:"&gt;🙁&lt;/span&gt;)&amp;nbsp; In which case ... final email, then refund and re-sell anyway!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
