Not sure if this is allowed or not, but figured someone here might know him/her.

rolexbuyer310 ??

Bought a watch from me and never paid, or answered an e-mail.

And stinking ebay policy I can't even leave negative feedback for him. So every buyer will always have 100% positive feedback even if they are a totally deadbeat.

Live and learn.

donnapg · 31 January 2011, 01:14 AM

I am not new to eBay - I have been selling on there since 2001, but this policy where buyers can just not pay and there is no way to let other sellers know just really ticks me off.

This way I can warn a group of others to watch out for him

HL65 · 31 January 2011, 01:15 AM

Go to the Watchout section then............

m5blitzer · 31 January 2011, 01:16 AM

Isn't the expected transaction process begin with "where's the money" before you ship the watch? Sorry to hear this.

donnapg · 31 January 2011, 01:17 AM

I did not ship the watch!!! No way.

Just want my money so I can go buy my new watch.

MonBK · 31 January 2011, 01:17 AM

Neither am I but to me it's more important that the seller has good feedbacks.

Flaky buyers come and go and there's nothing you can do about it.

Maybe your item was overpriced and he just got caught up in the moment?

donnapg · 31 January 2011, 01:21 AM

I think it's important that everyone has accurate feedback. If someone doesn't pay there should be a way for a seller to make that known.

There are 2 other bids within $ 50 of his, and the one before that is $ 100 less. So I don't think it was overpriced.

It sold just about where it should have based on conversations with others here and locally.

If you've been on e-bay since 2001 you KNOW that this happens all the time.

Relist it and move on.

X2. Sounds like buyer's remorse.

You may want to consider following eBay's non-paying bidder's policy to get your fees back and put a strike on the guy's record. If it happend enough, eBay will take action and restrict the guy.

Goes without saying.

notdos · 31 January 2011, 02:28 AM

Thanks for the headusp,,I'll make a note of his user name. A deal is a deal..period.

Phillip :)

donnapg · 31 January 2011, 03:36 AM

I will post him in Watchout.

I am not the only one he stiffed I just found out, and I will definitely be filing an unpaid claim to get my fees back and give him his strike.

Second chance offer to next buyer has been accepted. Hopefully he will be a better payer.

x 2 thats all you can really do.

as for MONBK. saying the guy got caught up in the moment etc etc, well he entered into a legal and binding contract.
Why waste peoples time and money. The least the buyer could do is say is i changed my mind or make contact of some sort. ( not that hard is it)

So basically, i completely diasgaree with you.

You're entitled to diasgaree (what ever that means

) as much as you want and I'm not defending the "buyer" in any way.

My point was that this happens more times then I can count and there's nothing you can do about it.

I've been on e-bay since 99 and have over 6,000 feedbacks and if I would post everyone that doesn't pay you'd be reading about it for ever.

rolexsubdate · 31 January 2011, 09:12 AM

on ebay, selling is the easy part .... but getting paid is the tough part ... and even after getting paid, the buyer can return the item and you are screwed.....Ebay policy are like its employees: FULL OF AHOLES .... Just look at Meg Whitman ...

So until feedback is left for you as a seller, nothing is final ....

donnapg · 31 January 2011, 09:13 AM

I guess I have been lucky and have had few non-payers.

I just hate people wasting my time, especially on what is (for me) a high ticket item.

And I guess what bothers me the most is their latest feedback policy, so I am spreading the word where I can.

Anyway I have filed an Unpaid Claim, the second chance buyer seems to want it, and I can move on and get my new Rolex

Sorry to hear about this time wasting bidder.

An all too frequent occurrence on eBay.

Relist your watch and make sure to block him from bidding again (happened to me once!!)

nnb239 · 31 January 2011, 04:08 PM

Open a case with eBay. If the winning bidder doesn't make payment. Their account would be probably banned.

well that i do agree with.

I know ebay and paypal offer an intrisically good service yet its so Draconian. I have a run in atr least once every 2 months with them.

Mark020 · 1 February 2011, 11:16 PM

Ebay is just looking to make as much fees as possible. The non-paying buyers problem does not interest them for more than 1 second imho (don't ask me how I know).

Congrats on second chance offer, albeit $50 less than high bidder.
