another ebay buyer to watch out for - bid on 9 seperate lots never paid

[fingerpaints]

bestof7172 is one to put in your block list. She won 9 seperate lots from me on the 20th & 21st of Dec, asked if she could pay on the 2nd. No worries.

Got a message from her on the 2nd of Jan saying she was going to pay that night or early the following morning. Nothing.

Sent her a message asking for her to pay or contact me, nothing.

Opened a case on the 4th, again contacting her to let her know if she contacted me I would hold off closing the case if she needed an extra day or two, again, nothing.

Closed the case on the 8th. Recieved a message asking me "why did you close the case? I told you I was going to pay tonight" umm, no, I never recieved anything after the message on the second.

It's amazing how suddenly people can contact you AFTER a case has been closed.

I would steer clear, time waster, she won 9 lots in total, all at good prices, had super cheap postage and still couldn't finalise the transaction.

I am sorry if you are a member on this site, but I really am sick of non paying bidders, they waste my time, which I don't have much of, and also my money for fees, which I also don't have much of, otherwise I certainly wouldn't be bothered with ebay.

You're having some real dodgy buyers lately arent you?   they must really be trying your patience, but you've still given them a chance first - I wish they would stop messing you about.  I'm so sorry to hear about this one Paints! thank you again for letting us know

Paints I am so sorry you once again had to deal with a NPB 

Thanks for the head's though!

you seem to be copping more than your fair share i forgot about an item i'd bid on the other day (not one of yours i hope ) when i remembered, the auction had been finished for nearly 2 days. i contacted the seller immediately, i was absolutely mortified that i had forgotten. i paid instantly, and apologised profusely. i was really embarrassed. i don't know how people can not pay, or even have the gall to ask for time. you are so lenient, giving them so many chances, and they still crap in your face.

What's up with all the NPB and you lately?!  That really sucks for you.  I'm adding this time waster to my block list.  If they are a member here, then shame on them!!  Don't bid on stuff you can't pay for!

So sorry Paints.

It just drives me nuts that someone would bid on so much and waste my time and money.

Then have the balls to have a shot at me for not hanging off longer for them. If they had sent me a message stating they would pay that night, I would have held off, but I can't read minds :/

Oh on a good note though, I have found someone that is interested in at least part of the 9 lots, not all of it, but, I trust this person and know they are good for following through with a transaction

Thanks for letting us know...

Dang, nine lots and never paid? What's with stupid people like that?!  So sorry you had to deal with this.

I'm sorry paints.    I got stuck with some auctions that had NPB's too.  And it frustrates me to no end that we can't leave a neg. feedback warning other sellers.  ={

I don't understand why people don't pay for items. I try to pay within the first 24 hours. If not immediately. UNLESS - I message the seller beforehand and inform them I am bidding on two items ending different days and ask to wait to see the outcome. Never had any problems with that. I have also had people ask that and I have no problems as well doing that for someone.

[fingerpaints]

Don't get me wrong, this wasn't about wait times for payment, I can hold off if someone is a genuine buyer, but don't stuff me around. I really don't mind, but don't bid and not pay, then have a temper tantrum when I close the NPB case, after contacting numerous times with nothing back from you :/ ebay is attracting its fair share of crazy lately.

Out of my last sales, over half that sold didn't pay, which is discusting.

I had a few other npb, one which I am not going to name, as I do think she just genuinely is going through a rough patch, but it still doesn't make it easy on sellers, and I do have a hard time distinguishing the bs from the truth with the far fetched sob stories I come across.
