eBay!

[Wormwoodm]

First ever Aibu!
Ok so I sold an item on eBay on Friday, it was a last second bid but then not paid for which annoys me in itself as they were clearly on line. It's not an expensive item and only went for £5 but still irritating having to chase up.
Baby woke up early this morning and I was just using time whilst she sat feeding to write all the address labels. Got to said item and still not paid for so just typed quick message saying hi, just checking you still want your item. Nothing rude at all. I got an instant reply from the buyer ranting how dare I contact her on a Sunday morning, I have woken her up and kept her baby awake who has been up 6 times in the night, I am very rude to message her etc!
I have an eBay app on my phone and I don't get alarms going off when I get a message, I just expected her to see it once she woke up. She didn't pay incidentally. Was i bu in asking her after 2 days if she still wanted the item she had won?

That's just it cool potato. I live in a very rural area and post office is good drive away so it does take me a while to go and post so like to do it all in one go once I've dropped older two at school. Not her problem I know but i don't want to be doing the trip daily. I think I'll sack off the eBay selling and go back to passing stuff on to friends as its just not worth the hassle!

Don't give up on eBay! But perhaps consider putting a footer to the bottom of your description along the lines of "I can only get to the PO on a Monday and Thursday so please ensure PayPal payments are made the relevant night before"

I did this when I was selling stuff on maternity leave because there was no way I was lugging me and the baby to the PO everyday. Nobody batted an eyelid or grumbled about it.
