Had an item on Ebay a few days ago( Power Supply Unit) and first of all got a bid and then the guy said he had bid thinking it was another model and wanted to back off .Luckily he was overtaken by someone else who won the item .I then discovered the item had a fault so I suggested we agree not to carry out the transaction and I'd get his money back for him but he said send it anyway so I sent it DHL 48 on Monday .He ( or his missus) told me they had a controlled gate entry but no intercom but gave me a mobile number to put on the parcel for the driver so I did that . He e-mails me today asking where the parcel is and saying DHL 48 stinks so I get the job of calling DHL on an 0870 number as he couldnt read the waybill scan I sent him and it turns out they tried to deliver on Tuesday but couldn't get access so presumably the driver didn't see the Tel Number ( I just knew that would happen) . DHL took all the details and are going to attempt redelivery with specific attention being made of the mobile number . Delivery drivers etc must love them ...he'd better not come back to me and say he wants his £32 back cos the item is faulty .

Most buyers would call your bluff on it for that reason. An unscrupulous seller could probably turn that to their advantage.
