This includes items that are collected.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>If you somehow paid the seller direct, not through eBay, there will be no buyer protection for the purchase. It will be between you and the seller.</P> Mon, 30 Mar 2026 07:35:12 GMT https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support/P/m-p/8015876#M348293 red_magpie 2026-03-30T07:35:12Z
