They stopped you from communicating that "My Gmail address is WonkoTheSane69", or "My phone number is zero treble seven six [etc]"?

Genuine question, I don't know how smart their censorbot is.

Thanks all for your advice. As this has been going on I've had a offer for cash on collection Thumbs Up

The buyer in the OP is now suggesting through PayPal only but I send Special Delivery, recorded etc.

Not even sure that's scam proof either to be honest.

Hopefully cash buyer goes ahead though!

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 6 years, 79 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
