Ebay rant. just needed to get it off my chest.

[iamme]

[rant]

Your NO-DOA policy is not stated in your auction and I cannot send you almost $600 without it.

hey dumbass, my auction is for 7 days. that is the time to ask questions or figure out if i'm going to offer a DOA guarantee. NOT AFTER YOU WIN THE AUCTION, IDIOT!! here's a hint, numbnuts, if i don't mention it in the auction....i'm probably not going to offer it!! don't win the auction and then demand that I give you some sort of DOA guarantee. how do i know you're not going to shove the PDA up you ass, and then tell me it's broken?? then i'm screwed. it's not my job to mention that i'm NOT OFFERING A DOA policy. screw you and your cold feet.

I have sent you three emails; I suspsect my MSN account is not sending them out though showing me
sent.

btw, by not emailing me back and not paying, did you think i was just going to forget? oh, the internet conveniently didn't work and the emails just didn't get to me. it's quite a coincidence that the emails that did get to me were AFTER i mentioned i would file a non-payment claim with eBay and leave negative feedback.

You can contact Ebay and request final valuation
fee (refund of fees) and tell them we both agree to
not go through with the auctiion. Then you can relist
it with the EXPLICIT ad listing that there is no DOA
guarantee. Without it you are implying there is one
which is what I bid on.

screw you and your dumbass logic. you know you're talkign out of your ass. who is going to assume there is a DOA guarantee, because it's not mentioned that there ISN'T ONE. now i'm convinced that you would have shoved the PDA up you ass, and emailed me back saying it didn't work.

[/rant]

i feel better now.

(sorry no links to the auction)

ok

8/10

the worst part is, if i leave negative feedback, he'll just retaliate with negative feedback.

he has 100+ feedback points, so it won't be as bad. i have less than 10, so it'll hurt me more.

moron.

 

[Wuffsunie]

Wait till the very end of the feedback period if he holds off, then stick him with it.

Wait 89 days and then drop the feedback.
What a turd. And he has had 100 transactions? Do they EVER learn?

Although that's why I usually just state outright - no guarantees, no refunds, no returns, no exchanges.

After 90 days you can no longer leave feedback on a particular auction. A lot of people try to wait until the last minute that way the other party doesn't have time to post a retaliatory feedback.

You can only leave feedback 89 days afterwards.

On the 90th day, the option disappears. So, you could wait until say, 11:55PM Pacific on the 89th day, leave negative, and he wouldn't be able to do sh!t... as long as he didn't see it and neg you in that last 5 mins.



Oh, and you need to tell him he's a fsckin' dumbass. It doesen't work like that. You don't assume someone has a policy unless they deny it, you assume they don't have it unless they state they DO.

 

[iamme]

question: i can file a non-paying bidder (to get my final fees back) and still do the sneaky negative feedback thing?

To be eligible to collect a Final Value Fee credit, you must complete the Non-Paying Bidder Alert form at least 7 days but not more than 45 days after your listing closes.

 

[Wuffsunie]

That all depends on how smart the person is. They'll likely give you a retalitatory neg for that, but I know you can argue with ebay to have it removed.

 

[kami333]

Probably but if he is smart at all he will try to contest the NPB and will be expecting a neg since you filed a NPB.

I actually had someone neg me saying that I filed a NPB:shocked:

i was hoping that he would believe i was filing the NPB just to get my fees back. i wouldn't mention I WASN'T going to leave him a negative feedback.....hehe, the irony.

no kidding :|

 

[PingSpike]

File non-paying bidder. Eat the feedback if he gives it and dump negative on him in return. If he leaves no feedback, wait until 89 days and drop the negative on his ass at the last minute.

What an idiot. Do you see me walking into McDonalds and saying "You didn't explicitly state you had a 'no free hamburgers' policy so I expect a free hamburger!" No! Why not? I'm not retarded thats why!

What a fvcking tool.

To be honest, you sounded like a whiny 12 year old in your response to him. If I were him, had you responded politely by saying "My auction did not state that, therefore I don't feel it was implied anywhere that this was the case. However, by eBay rules, you are required to follow through.. blah blah", I might have though you know, he's right, I'll go ahead with this.

But when you start ranting like a lunatic, well, I'm definitely not sending you money now.

A little common sense, but also a little maturity, can go a long way towards resolving things

I don't think he quoted his actual e-mails to the buyer.

Oh, well, in either case, mellow out a little man.

I thought by default, DOA must be taken care of by seller.

no, no. i know that ranting and raving will get nowhere fast. my rant here was just getting the frustrations off my chest. here's part of the email i sent to him:

My auction was listed for 7 days, during which was the appropriate time to ask any questions. You're not new to eBay, so I'm sure you're aware of how things work.

Honestly, offering a DOA warranty put all the risk on my side. What if the buyer were to drop the PDA and just say it was DOA? Then, I would have to swallow the costs.

unfortunately, with fears of getting an unwarranted negative feedback, i am hesitant to write anything confrontational.

i don't think there is a default policy with regards to DOA.

Ummm... where does it say that what's in the first post is what the original poster replied back to the winning bidder with? As far as I can tell, the original poster just posted that rant out of frustration with the buyer's stupidity.
