Holy bike sale Batman

[Mark Grant]

I sold a Pashley for £430, though I could have probably got that for it weighing it in as scrap it was so heavy!

I’ve sold three in the last 6 weeks maybe through eBay...somehow I’ve managed to avoid paying any fees

I have also bought one bike which I’ve had fettled to my liking by my LBS. Between the sales and purchase I’m around £267 ‘up’.
I made £95 profit on a bike I bought as a bargain for commuting in the Jan sales, literally rode it a mile around the block. I was never going to use it much (no commuting for the foreseeable) so sold so someone else could have, enjoy and use it (the profit was a bonus )

do you mean you pretended it didn't sell, when it actually did? That's fine, but if it sold through the system then expect to be billed for the fees in s month's time!

How is ok to rip off eBay but on the other thread about double delivery the consensus was try to return the extra item?

(I’m fine with ripping off eBay and keeping the extra item incidentally)

I was prepared to pay the fees on the one that did sell through auction, but then the buyer went awol, so I cancelled the sale.
She then got back in touch (she'd been having a Covid related issue) and we completed the sale as she was still keen. I had also relisted on Gumtree by then
