• I sold an item on ebay about 3 months ago as collection only - got paid but never collected.
    I've contacted the 'buyer' 3 times but apart from "apologies I'm so busy at the moment" the thing is still sitting here and I need the space .
    Whats the next step ?

  • There’s a tine limit for disputing transactions. Might be 90 days. Might be something totally different.

    If that time has elapsed then I’d forget about it and move on.

    I presume you’ve tried contacting the buyer?

  • It's 90 days for PayPal. After that the transaction can't be reversed or challenged.
    That said, it's 6 years (from memory) before property becomes yours legally and you are allowed to disposal/sell. Unless you're in Scotland then it's a lot less.

    Had this scenario with a bike that I sold. Buyer paid £1300 via PayPal then didn't collect for 6 months.
    In the end I mailed the buyer and said it'd be X for storage and would be backdated. It'd be mine by the end of that month by off setting storage charges against price paid and I'd be free to do as I wished. Suddenly he turned up - I'd moved house and county between so he got a suprise when he had to travel 100+ miles to collect!
