Here we go...

The guy who bought the laptop is claiming it does't work properly, is dirty, making noise, etc. etc. Since I spent a considerable amount of time cleaning it and making sure it works perfectly I'm not impressed. I suspect that this is the prelude to trying to scam me for a partial refund without returning the goods.

I've told him that if he's unhappy he should open an item dispute with ebay and return it to me for a refund. We'll see what happens.

update Friday - heard nothing more about this, which leaves me sure it was a quick attempt to scam for a partial refund. Meanwhile the buyer of the iMac G5 has left positive feedback, so at least that one's OK. Had a look at upping the hard disk size on the G4 but it's fairly complicated and I doubt it's worth the hassle. I'll try to get a suitable box today, and re-list it once I'm sure I'll be able to pack it if it sells.

Yup. All I have to do is find my proof of posting, which is definitely in the house somewhere -- and it is worth doing so thanks for the reminder.

Most of the stuff I send is big enough to need a courier, or valuable enough to need recorded delivery, either way I get proof of posting and delivery. Most of my cheaper items are so obscure (e.g. a blanking plate for the instrument panel of the fairing on a BMW motorbike) that the odds are that a buyer will not want to scam me, but again I keep the proof of posting.
