What is the going on with people today!!! :mad: This person placed some bids on a lot that I had for sale on ebay. What I don't get it I had buyer limits set to my listings and they will got a bid in on it! They only have one feedback and it was good.
But what I am getting at is the item sold 11th. I sent them two messages and still nothing back! So I opened a non payment case again! I would understand if you cant pay right away, but let the seller know!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Does anyone know who this person is?
-
You are not having much luck lately are you! :(
I don't know who it is but non paying bidders are becoming more common now!
-
I dont know this person either - I'll see if I can find out anything though. Partypony is right - this kind of thing getting more and more common on Ebay *sigh* :(
-
I know that I have not had much luck either. But one good thing is that the other lot of ponies got payment right away. But the person had a lot of feedback also.
Its sad :( I don't understand why people do this? What is going threw there minds?

Well I got a message tonight from the buyer. This is what they said.
I do apologize. I've had to take an unexpected weekend roadtrip because my pregnant sister has been admitted to the hospital with health problems. I hadn't had time to check my email or eBay. You will have the payment tomorrow. I understand that people do need the money, but please understand that circumstances occur that you may not have realized. Thank you
-
Has she made payment yet?
While I understand that real life issues arise the NPB thing is becoming more of an issue than it ever was before. Hang in there! There are good buyers out there.
-
No payment was made yesterday like the message said they were going to do. I am not sure if I can believe what is said anymore when I get a message back. So many make up things :(
-
I would just let the NPB case run it's course then. If she hasn't made payment by the third day, close it out and get your fee's back. Did you have others bidders? If so perhaps you could send a second chance offer to the next highest bidder and see if they are interested, so then you will not have to relist.
Also if she messages you again in regards to it just remain polite and tell her while you understand that RL issues arise that you can no longer wait for payment. Sorry.
-
That is what I am going to do. Yes I do have two others that bided on them. The next person in line is from Canada so I will have to get the shipping for them.
Yes I did send her a message back and said thank you for getting back to me.
-
This is weird...they're increasing more and more...
Thanks for letting us know :)
-
I know, still nothing.
-
Well did not get payment, closed the case. I blocked this person to!

Pregnant sister in the hospital. Yeah.
People always have these crazy stories of why they can't pay you, ugh. Seriously guys? I'd be more likely to believe you if you just said 'oh god i'm so sorry i completely forgot i bid on your auction last week' but when people throw these stories like 'my mother died and my husband fled the country and also i lost a leg last week so i couldn't paypal you that money sorry' it's like yeah. really. reeeaaaally. I'm noticing a pattern here.
Good for you! Ugh.

LOL :) Thank you :)

Thanks for letting us know to avoid this user! :(

Everyone's got a sob story lately. My cousins's nephews dog has glaucoma, so I can't pay you until the 12th of never. I'm not trying to be cynical, but there are only so many times you can hear crazy stories and get screwed.
-
There is a lot of non paying bidders every month, 4 to 6, and the latest , is " my daughter accessed my computer and ebay and bided on a lot of stuff, please cancel the transaction " I just tell them , it would be a non paying case against them , one of them later paid , the other did not :(
and also people biding and then retracting , like to just find out how high the bids could go :(
is so wrong ! :(
-
That is horrible that this is going on. I was just bidding on some other ponies tonight and I see a lot of Zero feedback people bidding on things? I wonder what is going on here? Sometimes I wonder if sellers have another account to make there things go up in price! That is bad of me to think that but it can happen.
Ebay really needs to do something about this!
-
yes, that crosses my mind as well, shill bidding is what is called :(

Oh I did not know that name for it. I have heard about people doing it before and getting caught.
-
yes, ebay ,can get alerts if the same pc is being used to bid on the same listing placed in the IP address :)
but not sure how enforced is, and it can always be done with computers across the country, let say , I tell my sister in Ca to bid up to 30 on my listing , then I'm sure that my item will sell for more than that, and if it doesn't sell to anyone else, I can just cancel her transactions , there is ways to get around it ,but if the same bidders are always on the same sellers listing , then it also will raise flags if they really want to enforce it I guess, Does ebay enforce it, I don't think so, the more people pay for an item, the more their fees are going to be :(
-
Ya I think they only care about make more money and not the people that are making them that money! LOL
