Ugh, just thought I had sold my ST on eBay but the winning bidder appears to have changed their mind. Grrr.

Report it. Buyer gets 3 strikes and loses the account.. Also should be able to re-advertise it for free

That’s the plan but I have to wait 4 days apparently, which means I also can’t offer it to the next bidder until then by which point they will probably have moved on to the next bike.
Next time I’m just going to do it as a fixed price I think.

I have sold a couple of Balckbirds on eBay, both times used sensible fixed price and both times they went straight away, literally within a couple of hours. The key is ‘sensible price’ to me if you want a quick sale.
