Cinnamon Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It is unfair,but they will get a non paying bidder strike against them,which,if they get another,could see them suspended. After a few days check back on your case via the resolution centre, & see when you can close it & get your fees back. Don't be tempted to close it early,as the buyer will benefit & not get their deserved strike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Thank you, apparently if I don't get payment before I can close it in 4 days and will do just that. So annoying though, the item is packed and ready to post ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramble Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Well, s/he didn't pay! I opened a case on Sunday after she'd had 9 days to pay (and/or respond to my emails) and another 4 days since I opened the case and no response, so I've just closed the case, don't see any point in waiting any longer, very annoying. Just hope I don't get a stroppy email from them now (though they've had long enough to pay, in my view) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soapdragon Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Did you know that you can block certain buyers from bidding on your items? No, I did'nt until E-bay told me during one of those horrible 'webchats '!! Its to do with' site preferences' so you can click on that and block those who have a certain number of unpaids against them, those wilth certain feedback profiles etc. It may cut down on the 'bid base' but could avoid any more hassle! I have sold around 50 items over the last year - not much really just things we have outgrown/don't need - it has certainly opened my eyes to the human psyche!!! Most buyers/sellers are lovely but the odd few can be real pains in the bottom ! Don't let it put you off, though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a post about this a little while ago as there were so many people having problems, and then I had a pain of a buyer here Also, as a seller another thing to bear in mind is keeping a close eye on your ratings (the stars you get for postage delivery comm etc) I was on the forum yesterday about something else and someone had got banned from ebay as their postage one was too low. They said they had no warning, the I think ebay feel the stars rating being low is your warning. So you have been, err, warned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
