blocked recipient/eBAY long


I recently bought a piece of tube equipment from a person who refused to give me a telephone number BUT was within 150 miles so I said what the heck, I'll take a drive and pick it up. She insisted on certified payment, no problem. When I sent her email to arrange the pickup, she said that I could pick it up at her husband's workplace (no problem, I appreciate a lady alone in a rural area has trepidations about a stranger's visit) at a mutually convenient time. Ok, no problem (actually this was done with some hemming and hawwing on the seller's part) - I gave her several times, at the last minute she said I can't pick it up next week they'll be away. When I sent email to finalize, this is the message I got.

I have sent this to my Postmaster for clarification and also looked at the spam blocker website.

Questions:

1. Has anyone else had this problem with a buyer or seller on eBAY or elsewhere?
2. How did you proceed?
3. I am about to notify eBAY that I consider the offer to buy null and void - I am no longer comfortable with this transaction. I think that this is reasonable, what do you think?

NB - I consider all replies as opinions only - I have a free will and will act accordingly. I hold neither A'gon or its members responsible for any actions I choose to take!

Thanks,
IJ

PS
I am thinking about asking eBAY to remove me from their membership list. Do you think that this is a wise move? Any deleterious ramifications? (same NB applies!)

I'm not sure the problem is eBay. I have tried to sent mail from my office to home and my internet provider's server sometimes thinks my work server is a spam sender and it gets bounced back with a message.
