Ebay likes to side with the buyer even if they don't pay. I cleaned out the closet and have been selling things and had issues with 3 buyers.

The One I won: I had a lady who had a purchase and there was postage due on it because I bought the postage from USPS.com and not through ebay. She tried to claim I owed her for the shipping, which was worth more than the item. She tried claiming the item did not match the auction. in the end I won because the shipping she paid in total matched the auction price but it was a pain in the butt.

Another guy just didn't pay, had 100% feedback. I opened a ticket and ebay suggested I close it and relist, I left the ticket open a few weeks and figured they were never going to do anything about it so I relisted the item. Still waiting to sell it.

One guy bought something then gave me a sob story of not being able to pay his rent even though his bid was at the last day. I just let him go. it is not worth the trouble opening a case.

Good luck.

Ebay is nice when the people on the other side are nice.

I would just slam people that wouldn't pay for their auction back when a seller could leave negative feedback. I would toss out things like, Deadbeat, likely goes to cemetery and digs up graves for free jewelry AVOID! Another nonpayment, I guess crack sales must be this week?..DEADBEAT. Must be hard to pay for item when you're back in jail?

I figured I would at least my pound of flesh for wasting my time. I ended up getting a warning from ebay once because my negative feedback was too mean. :eek:

I'm done selling anything on ebay.

Update:

Sent tickets anyways. He thanked me for sending them. He didn't know what a tracking number was, nor did he have any activity previously on ebay.

I could be getting super scammed, but I can't do shit with the tickets at this point, so I bit the bullet and sent and documented everything.

Zero feedback history?

:eek:

Good luck. You are going to need it.

If he was trying to scam me in that way he wouldn't have asked to cancel the order, he would have collected the item and then done a chargeback later.

that was kind of my take. He's just a dummy, not an asshole.
