Stupid deadbeat EBayer!

Hindsight is 20/20, right? :roll: When I saw someone with a brand new account (less than 3 months, zero feedback) bidding, I should've deleted the bid...but fair is fair and everyone needs to start somewhere and be given a fair shake, right?

So I left the bid intact. He/She/It won...and hasn't paid or contacted me yet. Technically, they have until tomorrow to pay (I spec'd that in my Auction Terms) but I've a feeling they won't be paying. I mean, it's only $41.00, and they haven't even contacted me?

It's the whole "new Ebayer, no feedback" thing that's putting the dark cloud on this one.

I wonder if I should flame the crap out of him/her/it or not? Nothing worse than a deadbeat. If he would've contacted me and explained things, that would be diff.

Thanks for listening.
 
Just put this in his feedback: "He didn't pay. He is a bad buyer, as well as being Michael Jackson's partner in crime."

I will contact them...as soon as the 72 hours to pay is up, which technically, it is not. I sold six things on Sunday; FIVE of the buyers paid by Monday morning...as it should be. This dorkus is gonna dork me over, I know it.

I'll cut and paste the EBay TOS; a bid is a legally binding contract, etc.

$41 isn't going to make or break me; it's the point of the thing, you know?

Totally agree, had the same problem myself, only my item was for $600, seller didn't pay I was stuck with the fees. The worst part is that Ebay doesn't give a rip about you, thats why I have pretty much ceased to do business with them.

Goodluck to you and I hope you get your money
Sorry about the threadjack 🙂

 
@ S Freud:

Not a threadjack AT ALL>>>your story is completely relevant to the thread. 🙂 Thanks and sorry you got stuck with that massive EBay fee.

I've already paid EBay my fees for those sales...about half, total, what you got stuck with. 🙁
 
I was going to recommend leaving negative feeback, then registering 10 new accounts and using them ALL to leave negative feedback, but what's the point on a new account?
 
Just file a non-paying bidder thing with eBay. You get yoru fees back and everything and can just list it again. But if you do, then I don't think you can leave feedback. It's one or the other.

I didn't know that; I've never encountered an Ebay deadbeat (as of 11:00AM PST tomorrow, anyway) before.

I will probably opt for money back as this Bipedal Phallus probably has changed accounts 100x already and I"m just the latest victim.

Thanks for letting me know! :thumbsup:

I stated the circumstances in my OP. 🙂 Of course, I hope he comes thru; my gut tells me I'm screwed, though.

It's not like it was a $4,100 auction where maybe they'd have trouble coming up w/money. It's $41.00, for cryin' out loud.
 
n00b blues uh?
Try contacting them and explaining eBay life, chances are they don't have the protocol skilz that you're expecting.
Yeah, I know, it's handholding , but like you said, you didn't do anything proactive about the bid either.

Good point. I'm not a n00b seller; I just haven't dealt w/any slackers before...wait; maybe that makes me a n00b? 😱

What I would LIKE to do is send Guido and Frankie to his house to explain to him that debts need to be paid on time. 😎

I'll second that. Between ebay and paypal fees margins are way too tight for a legit merchant.
