Buyer has paid but refuses to collect, its over 6 months

[grabbedit]

I have  a predicament with a buyer who bid and won and item of mine over 6 months ago.  He duly paid for the item.  However, despite my persistent requests for when he was going to collect  I either got no response, or the occassional response that was an excuse why he couldn't collect.  The item was furniture which I had to put in storage for space reasons.  Now. over 6 months later the buyer is asking if he can collect.  After all this time and my chasing I don;t feel obliged to assist him. What rights have I got?

As you have been paid no doubt you are no longer considered to be the owner, but you could ask him to pay the storage fees. There is nothing he can do though Ebay or Paypal as he is well out of time. Even the paypal refund facility is no longer available after 6 months.
