Non paying Ebayer-new buyer wanted for smart mk6 swb 100ps!

[tt225]

I am pig sick , I `sold` my van on Saturday morning to the highest bidder of the ebay auction for my 2001 mk6 transit, I stipulated that full payment and collection must be made within 48hrs and now theyve sent me a message saying (without even coming to look at the van):

Good evening Julian,
I am writing to let you know that you can accept your second offer because I can not buy this van.
I am very sorry for keeping you waiting that long.
That happend a first time when I can not finilize transaction. Thank you for understanding.
Kind Regards
Karolina

It wouldnt be so bad but I dont understand half of it !

I'm guessing english isn't their first language

You'll have to wait, but you can file a Non Paying Bidder dispute which will get your fees back

VAT needs to be included in the auction price or it breaches e bay rules

yep breach of ebay rules !!!

VAT needs to be included in the auction price

Thats the first I`ve heard of that - vat has to be included in the price? You`d have thought ebay would have told me that or ended my listing. The thing is I did state clearly that it had to be added...
