So I sold my frame on thursday evening to a zero feedbacker, he has sent me a few messages and said he'd pay on saturday but still no cash today, he seems polite but is perhaps a bit dim as he is trying to sell an intense bike with one line of text.

In the meantime if anyone wants a Cotic BFe frame for £250 posted let me know. 😡

I think you could still wait for a bit. 5 days seems fair.

Guess I'll give him till monday evening. Annoying though as I let him bid despite being zero feedbacker, and he was the highest bidder for over a day I was hoping someone would swipe it from under his nose but there were no last minute bids.

7 Days is about the maximum i think.
If he is new he might be having a problem with paypal.

I'm not so sure he appears to have a pic from the hills.

I suppose he thinks people who are interested know all about it - need more info still though.

7 days is fine - have you sent the payment request thingy?

He is almost certainly waiting for someone to buy the intense so he can pay for your BFe. Give him hell and I will bid 250 for his intense frame. 🙂

Okay so buyer has just told me he has paid cash into my account this morning and it is showing up. Should I be wary of this, is there anyway that the cash can now not be mine. As there is no way I can afford to lose £250!

If he paid cash in, that's all done and dusted. Cheques can bounce, cash can't! 🙂

Thanks PP I presume it is cash as the payment is showing. Might phone HSBC to confirm.
