eBAy help

I tried to sell a cement mixer handyman size (Belle) I only wanted £60 UK
for it. When I had 5 bidders I thought that was enough. So I ended the
bidding early.The person who won the bid lived about 100 miles away ( in
England that's a long way) They had put money into my account but I wanted
cash on collection, as stated on the advert in ebay. They emailed me and
wanted me to deliver to a motorway station and offered to pay petrol. I
emailed them to say this was unacceptable. If they wanted to collect it
would have to be next week-end as I was away the for long week-end comming.
When I came back Monday night they emailed me to say that they where
rempoving the money if I didnt contact them by Monday night. I also got a
message from eBay saying that the bidder had removed the money on Sunday
night. I then got the second highest bidder informed by email that he could
get the mixer so far I heard nothing. My time is up for the second bidder to
respond. I cant access the advet to get a second bite of the cherry and eBAy
will not let me make a complaint until 7 days has expired.
So do resubmit the advert on eBay and get a refund on the failed
transaction,or wait 7days then get refund and start again? By the way the
person who welch on the deal is someone who deals on eBay as a busuness. TIA
Mike

100 miles is not far, why don't you delivery the mixer to the guy. It sounds
like you want the easy way out. Remember the customer is always right. Now
the guy you sold the mixer to is going to give you negative feedback on eBay
and bad mouth you on the internet. I would apologize !
