The principle here is honouring your word. I stated to him that I would confirm in the evening (last night) that the money was available. He was fine that. This wasn't a 'wait until payday' situation. It was a few hours at best. He'd also agreed to meet me today at a specified location. All he had to do was wait a few hours. If he wasn't happy with waiting for my confirmation, he should have said something. If my wheel sale hadn't have happened, there were two other people who were waiting to buy them.
I have traded on this forum many times and 99% of the time, people have been reliable. They have met me at the agreed location and the trade has gone through without issue. I stuck to my word at every point here and my communication was clear. Unfortunately, the seller didn't keep to his word.
Thanks all for your comments.
