Default Another Ebay problem

Yeh, I know, if you use Ebay, then this sort of thing will happen but I just want peoples opinion on this one.

I advertised an item on Ebay and stated the postage as £15.00 as it weighed 8kg.

A potential buyer asked if they could use their own courier if they won and I agreed.
This person then won the item and paid via Paypal.
The courier was organised (which meant I had to stay in all day) but the courier didn't show.

The buyer then asked for a refund as the courier had let them down advising me that I should easily re sell it....... Really

I politeley explained that I was prepared to wait in again or I could send it for the £15 I quoted.

The buyer has got arsey now and demands the cash be returned or they will initiate a complaint .

"Go for it" was my reply.

What do you think?

That you were daft to change your terms and conditions and then wait in all day to boot.

Wait in all day, or10 mins down the post office?
I bought some Cibie spots on Ebay last week. The seller wasn't prepared to post them, but he was willing to wait in all day for my courier to call!?!?

I realise that it was wasting my time waiting in all day but I have not accepted a courier in the past so I was unaware of the procedure. AM/PM would have been acceptable.

My p+p was £15 compared to the buyers' courier costing £6 that's why I allowed courier to collect, but the buyer is not prepared to pay my £15 p+p.
