Issue with eBay is, they don't release funds now until item has been delivered.
I had a nervy week a couple of weeks back. Sold a Scotty to a guy with 0 feedback (buy it now). I overloaded the guy with messages and tracking numbers etc. Dispatched the item on a Saturday, and then he was out when it tried to be delivered...eventually he collected on the Friday, and I got paid on the Sunday.
As a seller, eBay seems hell bent on making things a bad experience
