Oh stop being weird!! Why has someone bid more for my item than it's worth in a shop?

[Lauriefairycake]

Should I be concerned they're going to dick me around?

They already asked if they could pay by a post dated cheque for the end of the month and even though I specified paypal only I said yes they could bid only if they accepted that I would wait til it had cleared (10 days) and that i would only send it recorded delivery to their name and address registered with ebay.

With one day to go it's one pound more than you can buy it in a shop.

What could possibly go wrong?

they'll get hold of it and demand a refund.

which I don't need to give them right?

What is it?????

no, you don't. especially if they pay by cheque.

they can give you negative feedback, but a lot of folks don't care about one or two of those anymore.

cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300251029928&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=020

it's this one

maybe they don't know how much it is in the shops?
Not sure though, if it were me I would check first probably.
I'd be a bit suspicious tbh - but as expat says, you don't have to give a refund.

your link links back to this thread.

right, I give up, what the hell am I doing wrong?

Pop the item number on I'll find it and try and do the link

I don;t know. Perhaps links to ebay have been stopped?

www.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300251029928&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=020

300251029928

item number above.

Your link doesnt work. Strangly if you c+p it to the address bar it does work, but not if you click on it.

I think that some people dont know how much things cost in certain shops. I quite freqently see stuff from Next going for more than it is in the shops.

If you get cleared payment and then send it tracked to registered address then I would think you were safe.

that didn't work either.

try this?

It doesn't work yet, but I got it anyway from the 1st link by deleting the mumsnet bit and just leaving it with cgi.. etc

maybe this time?

goingslowlymad's link works!

going slowlymad beat me

thanks guys

they buy a lot of perfume or aftershave.

i cant see what it is by your link it just takes me to the topic list.

i had this with a pair of linen trousers they were £15 new in matalan and someone bid for ones id worn over £14 i emailed them to say they werent new and was she aware - turned out shed bought a matching jacket with a similar pair of trousers and found them very comfy and went back for more to find they had none so she was willing to pay that for mine.
