He has to pay listing fees and 5.25% commission on the final price. The least you could do is refund him that money.

Actually, the seller can get the Final Value Fee credit if the buyer doesn't pay.

well hopefully for the rest of us they will deactivate your account, and i think that guy should leave u a mean negative on ur account.

Frankly u r an a**hole and you are an idiot. If you bid on something be responsible enough to pay for it.

Oh and good luck ever trading here at AT after this post!

I bidded for this item that i didnt want (accidents happen!) and when i unfortunately won it as noone else bidded i decided to play dead. So a week goes by and the guys e-mailing me for payment and eventually he tells me if i dont contact him within 48 hours he will report me... So i stopped playing dead and said to him, my son bidded and its all his fault blah de blah, sorry!! I cant buy your item!. He e-mails me back sayin how i should be responsible for my kids etc etc, hes still gonna report me. I told him hes a b**tard and he dosent have kids as they somtimes get outta control. He said he does. I said i felt sorry for them. He said he will report me for my attitude and slightly bad BUT CENSORED! language.

Will they do anything?

PS I dont actually have a kid. It was a better excuse than "i was stupid and did it by accident" or "i was drunk and didnt know what i was doing"

You deserve to be banned.
 
I have no idea why everyone got so pissed off at the OP.

I have dealt with the deadbeats that wouldn't pay on ebay and expected. all I have to do is just file for the non-paying bidder form and get my insert fee and final value fee. I have nothing to loss as a seller except selling the damn thing again. this is ebay, what do you expect? there are always buyers who don't know what the hell they are doing. if you don't like it, don't sell on ebay.

fs/ft forum is different story, things like that won't happen to begin with.

Does anyone speak fvcking English anymore? Jesus christ. You are hardly qualified to be calling anyone an idiot.

"You" is not "u" and "are" is not "r" okay? For the love of Pete. :roll:

wtf kind of person decides to "play dead" after winning something they didn't want?

and also, wtf is TPAD??? not on urban dictionary yet...

take pills and die, I think....

but how do you 'accidently' win a car?

heh, i bid on a car i really wanted, put in a lowball bid, i actually won, then couldn't get financing.

Thank you for the update. Fortunately, soviet779 is not talking about us cause he heasn't even had the courtesy to get in contact with us to tell us why he has not paid. We do have an idea though...on the same day he purchased a motherboard that was near to the same to the one he purchased from us. How wishi washy is that for a buyer? Oh well what can one do!!!!

So he even lied about lying? I mean that he actually intentionally bid on the item and not by accident. Soviet, why so lame?

Hello to one and all. My name is Haggis and I am the author of the auction
in question. I would have posted in person however it seems that Aol users
cannot use these forums🙁 so I have asked the guy that caused all this storm
to post on my behalf.)
I have read the forum thread with some interest (and thank you for the link
that was emailed to me by the various peeps( you know who you are 🙂 thanks
)) ,it has provided some laughter for us here in Haggisville, on otherwise
what would have been a dull and boring day. I thank you all for all your
support, comments, interest and opinions, they are most appreciated and
welcome and I agree with the majority, however I ask you all to remember
that to err is only human, and everyone had to start somewhere, sure this
guy had some bad advice and done the wrong thing to start, but lets not
forget that he done the right thing in the end and that is what counts, I
believe that he is only a youngster especially in the ebay ways and
therefore my philosphy is that everyone deserves a second chance. We need to
be able to learn from our mistakes and I hope that this has been a learning
experiance for this young chap. With this said I have decided to conclude
this matter and not strike against his name as I believe that this was just
a momentry lapse of sanity 🙂.
thank you for listening and I hope that everyone has a good day.
Haggis

wow, you're an idiot.

Does he actually expect us to believe this BS update? First you stated you lied, then ThisIsMatt proved that you lied about why you were lying. NWIFH should we believe that 'update' to be from Haggis. Soviet, you may be a short-bus riding fvctard, but that doesn't mean the rest of us are, too.

You are a speck.
 
lol we're supposed to believe the update ? :laugh:

If your mission was to set out and make us laugh at your expense, you've certainly succeeded. :thumbsup:
 
Guys, i dont fvcking want your opinions on whether or not you believe the update lol.... This is what he sent me. He asked me to post it here thanking those who sent him the link, since i respect his willingness to let it all go without neg feedback or w/e i did what he told me and posted this here.

Actually, those who have his e-mail, ask the guy if its genuine. He will tell you what i just told you. For those that dont know his e-mail but decided to boost your post count by spouting random insults, again i say fvck you. You will never know if thats genuine or not. Besides your opinions mean nothing to me anyways 🙂

PS keep it up 😛 this threads in the hot topics bit of "my forums" now.
