WWYD - Buyer lies about messaging details

[wobblywindows]

I listed a handmade dolls house /witches cottage and said in the description collection preferred or local delivery (Cardiiff - Reading) £30 - I just don't want my first art project trashed in shipping. The buyer lives a 3 hr drive away and claims to have messaged me twice to ask about courier options. I didn't receive the messages, but I checked tonight & my other listings are receiving messages fine, and their reply to my message after the sale came through quick enough. Buyer hasn't paid. Would you cancel or push ahead with the sale?

I would say no courier, sorry about misunderstanding, do you want to cancel or collect?

and don't take paypal

Certainly no courier wobbly your bidder could certainly find fault with the item and cause you untold problems,stick with collection and cash payment only,no pay-pal.

thanks glammanana, that's my thinking too.
