Another Ebay Non-Payer

[foxes1]

If you sell on Ebay add the following to your blocked bidders list euro002012, looking at his feedback he seems to have a habit of doing it.

I don't understand . Why the positive feedbacks and yet negative comments ? A lot of people complain he doesn't pay, but not one has left a negative feedback.

[BAZZABAGGIES]

Because sellers cannot give negative feedback to buyers..
Otherwise there would be a lot on my negative list

[Wullie]

Just found out eBay wont allow negative feedback to non payers. I'm sure I had done in the past, maybe it's a new thing. Therefore , why leave any comment ? It's crazy as you look at a buyer and see 300 plus positives and think he is ok. How many people read them all ? Not many I bet. That is just plain stupid.

Obviously eBay is out of order here. People can bid all the time and never pay. Nothing will be done about it. I suggest ( as others have done before) a blacklist of non payers on the forum. We could add these names to our ban list and safe us all a lot of bother.

If you report them as "payment not received" on the transaction you will receive a fee credit from E Bay.

whoopee , then what ? You got to re list it or try and sell it to the next highest bidder. And I was told never to accept this offer. So what a pain in the bum. You wait for weeks and eBay kindly refund your fees,,,,,

Sorry I was only trying to offer some information!!!!!!!!!!!

Ebay have not allowed you to leave negative feedback to a buyer now for a couple of years. I always put a non-payng bidder alert in and after 3 strikes the bidder is banned so Ebay say. I don't mind people not paying providing they tell you they no longer want it, it just pisses me of that some you never hear from at all.

Why were you told not to accept this offer ? I sometimes use it when I have an additional item for sale, or the winning bidder does not pay.

It's worse when they string you along and tell you the payment will be sent next week etc etc

I have had a few annoyances as a buyer because sellers have went back on the deal because the item never did well but since i've started selling i've come across a countless number of prats.
