Default What is it with Ebayers and not paying

Been listing a few things lately, and ive sold 6 items that I am waiting payment for, despite sending reminders the buyers have not bothered getting in touch either by the messages or to pay

its been 6 days and im owed over 600 quid at the minute

I had a few of those a while back. It went on and on, then out of the blue all my items started selling and people were paying me straight away? Ebay is a strange place!

you can set up Buy it Now like that but the immediate payment doesnt work for best offers, which are what most of mine have sold for

I work on the basis that all e-Bayers are untrustworthy scum and it hasn't gone wrong for me yet

Now that people know you can't leave buyers bad feedback, its like an invitation to mess you about.

yeah I know, its a right pita with the neg feedback

can you complain about negative or neutral feedback, as someone left me neutral feedback because the box I sent the goods in wasnt mint, and I had advertised the item as bnib, so he took a hissy fit

I'm sure you can still follow up feedback, so when people review yours you can explain yourself. I did it once, but never worked out how to do it again.

Stop blimmin infracting posts, you losers!

There's loads of idiots on ebay, it's a fact. Not everyone is an idiot, but I'm sure that anyone who's sold more than a few items has had their share of hassle.

Sellers cannot leave negative or neutral feedback anymore afaik. Pisses me off no end! What winds me up more is when you state collection only and some tw@t buys the item and then asks you to post it

No worries. What goes around comes around.


Someone tried to rip me off on eBay once by sending me fake goods. After I got my money back I waited a year and then got me some quality revenge. He stopped trading after that.

just sold a ferrari espresso machine on ebay, (to the uk only) a guy in canada bought it and I explained it would be expensive to post over to him, he was adamant he wanted it still. anyway I got the quote from p2g and sent the invoice, it was like £57.95 plus £12 insurance to make it up to cover it. he hasnt been in touch since
