...and what do you guys do if the person you mailed it to doesn't pick it up in time?
Sold a pedal on here, posted it a week ago and according to the tracker on the Parcelforce website it's been sat at the buyer's local post office since last Wednesday. No reply from the dude since "I sent your money, please send the pedal ASAP", despite several messages from me to the effect of "I posted it, here's the tracking number" and "can you confirm that you've got it, and that it's in one piece?"
So I currently have a sum of money sitting in my PayPal account that I'd quite like to spend, but don't really want to in case Mr Man tells me that Postie has destroyed my pedal in transit and he wants his money back. The parcel's got a return address on it, so presumably when the post office feel like they've given Mr Man a fair chance to come get it they'll send it back to me, and I'm going to be left with my pedal and the money he paid me for it, which isn't ideal.
Any advice?

You could try an old fashioned letter!
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
You know how you paid me quite a lot of money for a thing? A thing that I presume you acutally want? Well, you're never going to believe this. Don't ask me how, but that very same thing is at the post office just down the road from your house. You should probably go and get it.
Yours sincerely,

Theres not much else you could or should be expected to do really is there?
i know your doing the honourable thing of waiting in case there's a fault or damage claim but really it's no longer your responsibility , relax and spend.
Quite possible. I don't think there's anything dodgy going on.

I am not sure if they'll make another attempt at delivery, they might put a 2nd card through the door or send a letter??
In the future, you've better off using Hermes, its half as expensive and if they can't get a signature they'll throw it over the fence and sign it themselves.

Whatever, the buyer is an idiot if they don't collect it from the Post office, since they (effectively) agreed to its being sent by Parcelforce and thus accept that if they're not in, they take it to the local Post Office rather than throwing it over the fence or giving it to the neighbour and signing for you. They paid for it, you'd assume they wanted it????
What are they expecting, the courier to teleport it onto their pedal board?
