...it's all down to a bit of a "road block" effect - I have so much stuff on the go,but so little time to do it all in  ::).

The c5's are stacking up waiting for the restoration work to start but I dont see it happening any time soon  :-\

Decided to leave negative feedback for the guy. It's clear he's just a time waster.

If only! He gave a 1 or 2 word reply every other week at best. At first he said he would be out of the country for a few days and now 5 weeks later still no closer to getting it.

I had someone mess me about when I was selling a car last year, he clicked on "buy it now" by mistake (how ?) which resulted in me having to relist and pay for the final selling fees twice, I sent him several nice e-mails before I told him what I thought of him and gave up him ever paying for his error.

You used to be able to do that but not any more. They just have this resolution centre crap.

Besides, what good is the phone number if the guy is 1000 miles away?

You Can!
Click on advanced search, then find contact information. Put in their user ID and the transaction ID and then it will email you their address and number.

Great!

Are you suggesting I get the address, jump over the garden wall and take the c5 and send him the money via paypal? or leave a cheque :)  :P
