Having a nightmare at the moment, and need help asap. I recently sold an item on ebay, collection only. I was messaging the buyer back and forth arranging collection and payment. On multiple occasions I asked for payment to secure the item, however no luck. The buyer came up with many (understandable excuses) such as buying a car, moving house and obviously now lockdown. I've been very patience and understanding however it's now April, and the item was sold in February. I've asked the buyer for payment to secure the item, and we can arrange collection at his leisure once lockdown is over, however he is now ignoring me. Ebay's phone lines are closed so i've been emailing them back and forth. If i'm honest, i'm ready to scream! Ebay have been completely useless and not actually helped me, so i'm turning to you fellow sellers. Ebay explained as it's been over 30 days, I cannot cancel the transaction. I don't care about the selling fees etc, I just want to remove the listing all together as I have no interest in selling this any time soon. I've tried to email them screenshots of my chat with the buyer as proof, however no way to do so. They also advised relisting the item, well it still shows as awaiting payment on the original listing. I don't know what to do. I'm really annoyed with the buyer for messing me around, and now ignoring me, but i'm furious with Ebay for not actually having a bloody solution to this. I can't be the first one to come across this?! Any advise would be wonderful, thank you!
