• I won an auction for a jersey a few days ago. Today I got a message saying:

    'Hi there!

    Thank you so much for purchasing this item - unfortunately it’s sold whilst we are on our family holiday and we don’t return until June 14th.

    Are you ok if I post this to you on that date?'

    Am I right to be a bit annoyed? Surely you'd know you were on holiday when you put the auction up? And it's not even just a couple of days... what would you do?

  • You have two options:
    Say fine. Get the jersey on June 15/16
    Say, no thanks. Give me a refund. Don't get the jersey.

    You can be annoyed. Unlikely to change the above.

  • Ask for a partial refund, or 100% request free postage, if you paid originally. Not on

  • unfortunately it’s sold whilst we are on our family holiday

    we specifically and knowingly arranged this auction to conclude on this exact date
