Pete,
1. Ad stated postage to UK.
2. There was no mention or intention of sending oversees or any "dibs first then pm" policy.
3. I am the seller and I decide who I sell it to especially as I have had some poor experiences from sending items abroad previously.
However I can appreciate your disappointment, I myself was buying an item from someone on here not long ago, only to be cut off before I even had chance to pay because somebody else offered more money after we had already agreed on a final price - and that was from a gold trader and moderator :shock: - hardly the behaviour you would expect, but that's how it is and would take that over the expensive eBay fees any day. I didn't kick up a fuss about it on here.
I pride myself in being a good seller both on here and on eBay and feel strongly about being known as otherwise, so I would respectfully ask that you retract your accusation of "bad form from Beavis" and in future I will spell out the rules and regs of my sales in a boring eBay like fashion.
Lets just get back to the spirit of retrobiking eh?
Graham
