Could be worse you could deliver and the buyer doesn't turn up and conveniently turns off there mobile phone which they had on 30 mins before when you told them you had arrived and was waiting.
Not only wasting my money in fuel also annoying a wife and two kids who I had dragged along on a Saturday and yes they are a member and I hope they read this. Luckily for them I never got there address or I would have done a nice friendly drop off. To make them the ultimate timewaster they sent a PM whilst I was waiting for them to say they wasn't coming because of work, so I nowe have internet in my car . Funny it was same time I phoned to say I was there and see you soon pal and then they switched the phone off. Even stranger they didn't try to arrange another drop off time or reply to 3 text messages, so this sums up a timewasting individual. So 2 hours in a car park on a Saturday, not to mention takes 1 hour to get there and another to get back and it also rained all day.

I think we need some kind of lookup service to see if the user has been put on a black list in the past !!!

That's really sh*t. People like this piss me off. They ruin it for the genuine people, cos I bet you wouldn't be as willing to travel to meet someone again in future would you? & it's difficult for me if I want to buy something as I have to either rely on reptile taxi or similar (which may be too expensive), my parents to drive me (which they may not be willing to do), or public transport. So basically, because of people like this, it makes it harder for people like me to buy things off the forum. Time wasters!

we get a lot of them
which now means I have to ask for deposits to hold everything... Including from people I talk to all the time on msn.. makes me feel bad.. I only hold without a deposit if I have sold to that person a few times before. Or if they say they'll collect the next day.. It really upsets me when people waste time / ask loads of questions and give the impression they are going to buy, and they just don't get back to you. So much so sometimes, that I feel like throwing in the towel and giving up but things upset me more than they should sometimes! Sami

The other one that really pisses me off is this line.... "I will have it from you. I will let you know about collection in the next 2 weeks or so."
I actually got that in a PM yesterday.
