Ebay hell non paying winner

Lightning Strike GT · 05-04-2008, 01:29 PM

I sold the old XE on ebay last weekend
I have tried numerous times to contact the buyer via the ebay messages to keep it all above board i have given him till tomorrow, the 7th day to cough up or reply to my messages if not I will then start the disputed sellers stuff - Has any one gone down this path before , any tips as all the ebay stuff I have done as a buyer and a seller has all been good as gold
What narkes me is that i have the car on car sales as well it was on there for a while with no interest then when it sells on ebay every one wants it but as I have had a bid and sold the car on evil bay I really can not sell it twice - that will be my luck i sell it on car sales today and this guy wants it tomrrow
This guy has 0 points against his name as well.
For the time being I have left his name and address off this post for now

I reckon you should notify ebay asap
They have ways of dealing with them.

InfernoSR · 05-04-2008, 02:01 PM

Once the alloted time is over with (for the buyer to contact you) relist with a note saying "relisted due to bidder non-payment" AND add a note saying that all bidders with 0 or negative feedback will not be accepted without your authorization... Get any of those types of bidders to contact you first...

As do I, I listed 15 items in a day once before and 6 out of that 15 were non paying bidders. Talk about bloody annoying. Thankfully ebay refunded the listing fees when I reported the non paying bidder.

I would contact the guy who called you through carsales and see how you go there because I would 99.9% doubt this bidder will pay.

Good luck in any case.

use this link to file unpaid item dispute through ebay, buyer will receive an non paying bidder strike http://rebulk.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISA...pmv736&guest=1

g220ba · 05-04-2008, 05:39 PM

was there more than 1 bidder. if so isn't a second chance offer to the 2nd highest bidder an option

ingall9 · 05-04-2008, 07:34 PM

i have had this happen a few times, they often bid and then forget about it. Just report the bidder as a non payer and the re-listing fee is free. I had one guy email me 2 months later to organise payment, no he thought i would have waited that long. It was good because the second time i listed it i sold the item for $200 more so it worked in my favour.

Yes but why should I if the others bidders wanted it they should of adjusted their bids accordingly he bidded he won it is his as per the legal mumbo jumbo on ebay it is a leagaly binging contract.

Give the mongrel negative feedback! The ultimate Ebay discrace. it'll stick with them forever. When they go for a home loan itll be " Well we notice you have some negative feedback on ebay, we only deal with the one hundred percent buyers"

AlbertM · 05-04-2008, 10:13 PM

Went through the same thing not long ago. I wanted to sell a XF with a bit of rego left, the bugger stalled with payment I gave and extra week to pay and when I did say enough is enough he open a dispute on me for not delivering, the idiot hadn't even paid for it.

The car ran out of rego and sold it later as a paddock basher for $150.

Open a non paying bidder dispute, get your ebay fees back. Careful with leaving neg feedback as they can and will ruin your record aswell in retailiation

You can give them an unpaid item strike and also threaten to call the police on ebay if they do not honour their policy.

haha..

When you leave negative feedback, leave it at the last possible moment. I think its 3 months.. Then they don't have time to leave you negative in retaliation

the_scotsman · 06-04-2008, 09:46 AM

Normally that works, but since he/she has 0 feedback, they'd just create a new account.

351buzz · 06-04-2008, 12:21 PM

I've always left neg feedback where appropriate. (3 times) and never recieved it back yet, as a buyer though not seller. people wont take much notice of feedback left by a 0 rating who's 1st transaction went bad cause he didn't pay.

You have his name and address, why not ring and speak to him personally, you never know, he may well have a legitimate reason, such as hospitalisation etc, (unlikely) for the delay in contacting you. If you haven't got his phone number, check white pages.com.au with his name and address and you'll probably pick it up there.

If you're satisfied with the price he offered, then tell him he's got three business days to have the dollars in your bank account, or a money order in your hands.

You never know, the personal touch might stir him into action and you'll get paid.

I do have his number - he put his home number on the system as apert of the delivery address l- and I have called it a few times to no avail.
I have called it from my mobile with and without the number being dispalyed I have called it from work and I have called it late at night 9pm No answer at all
Might have to go for a drive to the dark side, the south side of Brisbane and rattle a door knob but that could be taken as harrasment
I will let it go thru the ebay policy and hit him with a NPB when i can

Since the 29th march and 1st April, your buyer has won 8 auctions totalling over $2600 which includes 3 motor vehicles and 5 prams. hmmm ??

I thought his address was in Ipswich. Why not take a drive past in daylight hrs. You might strike someone home.

Chippar · 06-04-2008, 10:35 PM

Maybe he's putting a new holden together with all these items he's purchased and has suddenly realised that the falcon parts would be too good to use !!!

All jokes aside, you would be best to let eBay try to sort it out for you and hopefully get the guy to cough up for the purchase. There are far too many of these tossers on eBay and unfortunately there always will be !!!!

I am keeping everything above board and i have put the unpaid items dispute in just then and it has given me another 7 days to get some response from him.

Duke · 07-04-2008, 08:53 AM

Interesting article on Today Tonight the other day... The number of problems and rip offs with eBay is growing at an enormous rate and they discussed the immanent failure of the whole thing if they don't address customers concerns.
I think they showed eBays growth patterns from 2006 at 74% to 2007 at 4%, a dramatic decrease and the number of complaints is skyrocketing.

I recently sold my dads boat on eBay - I'm not sure I'd use them again after seeing this - perhaps trading post may be better ? Of course that's no help to you, just commenting.

Good luck with it !!!

You shouldn't sell to buyer's with no history, even ebay state this officially on their site for selling expensive items.

Yep i have learnt that but every one on ebay started with 0 at some stage
Once bitten and that is the end for me selling to 0 buyers or buyers with more than 1 neg feed back for slow or no pay
He still has not responded to the demand from EBay as yet
