I bid on and won a large item, the seller stated collection only but said "I have a van so am able to deliver locally if needed"
I sent the seller a message to ask how much he would charge for delivery before the auction ended but he didn't reply. I really wanted the item so I bid anyway.
After the auction ended the seller emailed me with his address and said "don't pay by PayPal as I only accept cash" (which is fair enough.)
I replied and said I would like him to deliver the item if possible, he said that's fine and he would "get back to me after checking out costs"
He later emailed and said he had called a few men with vans and he would charge £60 for the 8 mile delivery. (It's a big but not heavy item by the way)
So I replied and said I didn't realise that he would be charging for a delivery service, and that I would have to think about it and explore other options.
I've called around a few men with vans and had quotes from £40-80.
I told the seller that I've had a quote for £40 and that if he can't give a better quote I will go with them, but the seller said "that's fine but I still expect you to come here with the cash
