Sold on Ebay for £560 but the winning bidder immediately refused to pay and collect. Second time that's happened to me recently. Seems to becoming more prevalent these days and Ebay appear powerless (or more likely unwilling) to do anything about it.
However, Got a new MOT yesterday so will re-list it.

Robin,
Not good news.
For all Ebay say that they protect the buyer and seller, as far as the Seller is Concerned they won't take any action if the buyer fails or refuses to complete, even though they state it's a legal and binding agreement, but you can list the item again.
It's even worse now that the Seller can no longer give a negative feedback, this is now only available to a buyer, which doesn't seem right somehow.
When I sold the Mercedes the buyer turned up without any extra money for fuel, so I let him pay me £20 short which he promised to send as soon as he got home, about half a dozen phone calls and texts later, and despite him insisting he had sent it, with only a couple of bad experiences over the years, and this was the first item I'd sold, something I don't think I'll do again with anything worth more than £50-£100.
