    Ebay headache

    Sending an item before getting paid is a very bad move indeed, what is the buyers feedback rating? As for the people moaning about the late post, they need to get a grip and accept that there's nothing you can do about it, I've sold a few bits on ebay this week and have emailed all buyers...
