I suppose u could request his details through ebay and give him a call?

your shout though.... you have been more than patient waiting for him to collect so if you wanted to relist the item IMO you would be perfectly within your rights to do so.

Relist it - sell it again and it he comes asking - offer him either what he paid for it (if it sells for more) or what it sold for (if it sells for less)

Write him a letter, and email him giving him one week's notice to contact you, otherwise you will relist it, and will not refund him.

If he doesn't get back in touch it's his tough luck!

Or, you could refund him say, £100 and state you're keeping the rest for the inconvenience he caused.

If he's paid by paypal it will be on the transaction details. Youll be able to get a contact number if you request it from ebay anyway.

Personally, i wouldnt go selling it again and keep his money as thats just morally wrong in my opinion. If you still get no joy, id just stick it in the loft and forget about it. Provided he's still with us, im sure he'll contact you at some stage.

I had this a couple of years ago when I sold some Ford Ranger bullbars, they went for over £200 and the buyer paid straight away by Paypal and said he would collect next time he was in the area, after a week or so I e-mailed him and got a reply that he would let me know when he could collect, to cut a long story short after numerous e-mails and checking his ebay account etc and seeing that he was still buying stuff? i left it for a year then re-listed and resold the bullbars, I felt I had gave him more than enough chance to collect and he either couldn't be bothered or didnt want them any more?
Re-sold the bars and never heard anything else form the original winner....

Get his contact info from here.

Give him a call, could be dead, in hospital, or whatever. Either way find out for sure or it will always be in the back of your mind!
