Someone used "Buy it Now" on some magic cards that I had on ebay.

It was clearly stated I took "NON-Credit Card Paypal ONLY" yet he paid with a CC which I denied.

Sent an email immediately afterwards, and three more over the course of 8 days. No response.

I know a negative is warranted, but should I be "nice" and leave a neutral instead? It was only a $12 item that I can relist anyhow.

negative

assuming you have feedback over 50, fvck the retaliation, give him the neg he deserves

there is no way he is deserving of a neutral

1. your a dork for having these cards

2. i would either go neutral or leave no feedback. he did try to pay you, but at the same time was an idiot for not reading the description... i would probably let it go b/c he did try to pay, and b/c i am nice, but i would also understand neutral feedback. i say give him a break

I'd say neutral.

You're no longer a dork since you're selling the cards. ;)

1. I'm getting rid of them because I was a dork in high school but haven't used them for 7 years. So there. Pthblblt.

edit: Also you're in need of grammar lessons. ZING! ;)

1. You've obviously never played the game.

2. I would agree with leaving a neutral.

No doubt. Negative. He saw the non-CC Paypal and hoped you weren't serious.

He probably will retaliate, but oh well.

[EDIT]If he responded to the 3 emails you sent after rejecting his payment, then a neutral would be more appropriate. No response + you having to pay listing fees = negative[/EDIT]

on a serious note, i would let it go, unless you dont mind getting a negative in return, b/c like everyone has said, he most likely will retaliate. then you could dispute it and blah blah blah, but it might just be more trouble than its worth

Left a neutral. It only cost me 35 cents so it's really not worth the hassle of a negative. I think he probably died or fell off the earth or something.

I'm having the same problem. Person paid with credit card, even thought the auction said not to, I sent an email, they paid AGAIN with a credit card, I sent ANOTHER email....and I haven't heard. I even said in the email that if they can't pay with debit card to let me know and I could arrange something. argh...and this is after I had to relist because of a non-paying buyer. Not really sure what I am going to do...do you guys ever request the contact information of your buyer and give them a call?

eBay ain't all its cracked up to be :(

No, eBay is a pretty good, streamlined service. It's the STUPID MORONS that use (i.e. bid) eBay that need work.

you should just wait until 89 days later, then that person will probably forget to leave feedback and then you can leave negative.
