  1. Hmm. Charged £4.50 for 2nd class delivery but only £2.85 on the envelope, was the packaging really £1.65?

      That's not too bad at all. When I go to the post it is an approx. 15mile round trip plus £1.00 parking, I do try to post a few items at once but inevitably a late payer will mean I often take just 1 parcel!

      2 Years ago around this time waether had been OK then it suddenly snowed and continued to do so for around 2.5 days, 14" recorded here, never been known before, it was strange to see people walking the 1.5 miles to the nearest shops to buy food which had not been delivered as the roads had not been cleared!

    1. Stevelewis

      Stevelewis

      Ifd they want to back out then they have the opportunity to request this on eBay, you would then be sent a request from e\bay to accept or deny the request'It is probaly simpler if you just open a non payment case let eBay handle it.
