Yes make sure the funds clear (at least seven days) then check with the bank to make sure as well.A freind of mine waited a week then sent the item when it appeared on his statement as ok but it still bounced a week later.

Is that clear as in cheque or clear with Paypal? This geezer reckons to have sent via P.P. ansd as far as I'm aware, once I claim the money from them that's it, it's mine, right?

Eh? Surely if you have transferred the dosh into your normal bank there is no chance of him claiming it back unless there is some kind of dispute (normally conducted by eBay/Paypal themselves)

My sediments exactly.

Unless he never gets the goods he has no complaint and it's up to the credit card company to refund him and seek recompense. Don't worry about something that's not likely to happen anyway, check his feedback and if he's straight no problem. Does he want an engine to practise on, I've got one in the shed?

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

My step dad visits Guy Croft with work and we have a signed copy at home signed by him dec 05

Should be a good seller if he wants to get rid!
