So apparently I must live with half a bed in my hall for the rest of my life

Sold a double bed (divan base that comes apart into two bits, double mattress, headboard) a couple of weeks ago. Buyer came the following weekend to collect. He came in a fucking hatchback or something. Bed predictably did not fit in, so he took the headboard (the nicest bit), the drawers and half - half - the base.

Buyer actually lives on the south coast - we are in the north of England - but owns a holiday home not particularly near here (about 90 min away).

Said he couldn't come the next weekend so would come the weekend after that to collect the rest. Couldn't be arsed to relist/resell bed so have lived with half a bed in the hall for a fortnight.

He was supposed to be coming back this afternoon/evening to collect but haven't heard from him since Friday and has been a no show. I have twice suggested that we arrange a man+van to get the rest of it to him as probably cheaper than his fuel costs. No response.

I am heavily pregnant and beyond fucked off. How long do I have to store his bloody half-a-bed before I can give up and take it to the tip? Fortunately he paid cash (and then again via Paypal, but I had the decency to refund!).

Thoughts/suggestions appreciated. I just want my hall back!

Resolution Center on ebay. Then if no response you can sell what's left or just get rid. Hopefully it will make him collect. Or can anyone store it for you.

I feel your pain.

I sold something a few weeks ago. The buyer paid but has yet to collect despite me emailing two times. Not as big as a bed but still a pain nonetheless.

I might just relist and see if I can get paid twice....

tell him if he doesn't collect within x amount of days then you will be taking it to the tip. eBay resolution centre will not do anything. They cannot make him collect it. I mean - how could they?

currentnameinuse · 15/03/2015 21:18

And Wobble - I hope he didn't pay by paypal?

Thanks for the speedy responses. He has actually just turned up - at 9.30 pm. Not what I thought he meant by "late afternoon". Apparently he has been very lost.

Anyway, I am off to do a little dance around my suddenly ENORMOUS hall Grin
