ebay question....Answered, Thanks folks.

[lobadobadingdong]

I have an auction going on for a taxidermy deer mount, and someone bid that has a -1 rating (he only had one person rate him, and noted he was a non-paying bidder). I've had one person not pay me before and I never could get e-bay to refund me my listing fees like they said they would, any advise? Should I e-mail him and make sure he isn't just screwing up my buy it now option or to find out if will actually pay?

my starting bid was $75, and had a buy it now option for $300 (I watched other items like this go for between $250-$350)

pm me if you want a link to the auction since we can't link them in the forums.

I think I can link his profile though.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something bothers me about that bidder.

The guy who bid on your auction is in Belgium, and has negative feedback. My answer:

Cancel His Bid

Then

Block All His Future Bids

I would contact him and ask him about his negative feedback.

That previous auction was also for a dead critter, so my guess is he is one of your competitors sabotaging you.

Holy stuffed cow! Look at his other bids!!

Yup. He's definitely sabotaging auctions of man's triumphs over nature! Maybe a PETA nut, or like I said before, a competing seller.

why bother, he'll just make up some excuse. better not to take the chance.

Cancel his bid and block him.

 

[moomoo40moo]

CANCEL NOW!!

I don't get it - if he was against all the taxidermy stuff, why would he bid? It just rasies the prices by a bit - it's not like he's the high bidder or anything.

BTW do any of you have a page with all the userful ebay links handy?

Wow, Thanks, done and done, someone else has over bid him already (he only bid the minimum amount), but I might have been able to sell it using the buy it now....oh, well such is life

Appreciate all the help folks.

maybe someone should inform everyone he's bid on about his activities?
