    Ok it's a nice cot etc but it says digital delivery .........postage free? From USA.. Im lost here, maybe they mean they will give out the delivery details on payment? anyway its very confusing. Think with only 4 feed back it looks tres dodgy.

    Any idea folks?

    A digital item is a PDF, MP3, Document etc.
    I can't see how a cot can be transmitted digitally.
    Stay away I think...

    Edit: Never mind, delivery information is digital. I still think its dodgy. Send them a message and ask why....

    You might have seen this but

    Id be weary but as mentioned send over an email and inquire. Let us know how you get on!

    I wonder is it a plan on how to build the cot, as opposed to the physical item...ive seen stuff like that on ebay before. Cheeky monkeys.

    Good luck with sale though!

    account has had little activity in the past 3 years, bar the purchase of some disney pyjamas.
    it could be a mistake by a new seller not familiar with ebay,
    if you read the listing it says shipping is groud by usps.

    contact them to be sure

    it's either a mistake on the sellers part, or you are buying instructions to build.

    Thanks guys, have sent the seller a mail asking them what they mean by digtal delivery........ will let you know if i get a reply. I think its a scam because in the "digital item" link it clearly states:

    Important: Like other non-physical items, digital items are not covered by the eBay Standard Protection Program or the PayPal Buyer Protection Program.

    Looks to me like the seller messed up the listing, specifying something they shouldnt. Your email should get clarification.

    The seller sent me a mail today saying it was a mistake and obviously they would have to ship........but never mentioned shipping charges.

    I'm not touching it.

    Thanks for advice folks.
