Sold something (low value but heavy and big).

It was sold as a collection only and the buyer has paid.

However they aren't replying to emails to arrange collection and I need it out of the way (it's been 10 days since the auction ended).

So - how long do I give them before binning it and saying 'tough, too late'?

Just email the buyer a deadline giving him a set point at which you will dispose of his property. Say, another few weeks?

There is a contact request feature in Ebay to allow you to retrieve a phone number. Use that.

Give them 5 days or so, then refund and relist.

beware if they paid by paypal & collect - as there is no proof that you have delivered the goods & paypal may refund the payment if a dispute is opened

OP, you can get the contact details of the buyer here:

This.

I would never accepted PP for items that got collected. Have had to refund PP payments and explain to buyers why, but it just removes any risk of being ripped off.
