I must be blind, please help me out.....

[ToThrottleablackbird]

Can someone please thell me where it says collection only on this item

I cannot see it anywhere???

[IllegallyBrunette]

It doesn't, it says Royal Mail 2nd class and free p&p.

[ToThrottleablackbird]

I thought so, apparently it says 'collection only'

[no1putsbabyinthecorner]

mmm.. It doesn't.
Did you used to be Knickersonmahead

[IllegallyBrunette]

Nope, definatly doesn't.

[jinglemamadivasbells]

Nope defo Royal Mail 2nd class free P&P

Im assuming you dont live nearby then?

[ToThrottleablackbird]

Yep i did no1

Nowhere near Jingle feck Im not gonig to be receiving this am I?

[MrsGokWan]

Could you arrange your own courier?

[ToThrottleablackbird]

I cant afford to tbh, thats why I bid on that because of how cheap it was

[MotherChristmas2OliverJames]

they are required by law to send it to you under the terms and conditions of the listing, it is a legally binding contract.

[ToThrottleablackbird]

I dont know OliverJames

[piscesmoon]

They seem to have made a real mess of listing it so I am not sure where you stand. It appears to offer free postage and packing by 2nd class mail but that is impossible because 2nd class only goes up to 1kg in weight.

[MotherChristmas2OliverJames]

yeah, apparently someone was taken to court because they had accidently listed their yaught for £10 and wanted to back out of the agreement but the buyer won in court and the seller was forced to give up the yaught for a tenner!

so my mum was telling me!

[piscesmoon]

The problem is MotherChristmas, it is impossible to send the way it was listed.

[ToThrottleablackbird]

[MotherChristmas2OliverJames]

please excuse my terrible spelling

it may not be possible o send it that way but it is at least a good barganing position to either;
A) just back out of the listing and both forget about it or
B) to split the cost of a courier

[SoupDragon]

Oh, she's clearly made a mistake with the listing. Give her a break.

[MotherChristmas2OliverJames]

but soupdragon, if she is expecting the buyer to pick it up still its hardly fair is it?
Esp if it was only bought because of how cheap it is.

TBH i think that the best solution would be to pretend it didnt happen, you wont be getting that bargin but at least you wont be paying lots more than you thought for something

[ChopsTheDuck]

fgs, you only won it for £10!
She has obviously madea amistake and I think you are being mean tbh. You could arrange a courier with parcels2gop for around £10 then £20 is still a bargain for the buggy. She then has the hassle of packing it and waiting in for a courier so she pays for her mistake too.

[MotherChristmas2OliverJames]

is a courier really that cheap? i would have thought it to be at least 30/40 pounds?

[SoupDragon]

No, she shouldn't insist it is picked up, they should "mutually agree not to conclude the transaction" or whatever the Ebay wording is.

[ChopsTheDuck]

youd need the measurements to get an exact quoite, but Ive sent allsorts with them very cheaply.

[SoupDragon]

Not everyone has the option of being able to wait in for the cheap couriers to turn up.

[ChopsTheDuck]

£8 plus vat based on the folded size.

[ChopsTheDuck]

but the seller did make a mistake. I think the buyer paying for a courier is a fair compromise.

[ToThrottleaRedRobin]

Chops. TBH I only got this because of the price and because it was 'free postage. Fair enough, she may have made a mistake but she is denying it even says that.
