Thank you for the advice. I have 60 feedback, and try and use cheque to avoid paypal fees, but no was not an issue last week. Wanna send me 1p

I sent 2p just in case. I'd edit out that email now in case an email harvester collects it for spam purposes if I were you.

Nah going to continue with the original auction until he releases as not happy with this. Will file for a refund on my listing fees.

It's not his fault - he has legitimately purchased the item from you. There is no way he can 'release' the money. He doesn't have it.

I'm getting royally sick of being accused as a scam artist by sellers who cannot and will not read what the Ebay policy is on this issue.

Do not take it out on the buyer. He is an innocent party.

Everyone says refund 1p and then you can withdraw the money, take off all your cards etc and then Paypal can't take your money.

Thing is, if you do this and Paypal think you owe them money, they'll hunt you down and kill you. Well, send bailiffs.

Which has since been clarified before your rant, but thank you x

I did not know this, which is why I asked
