Seems to be a lot of non payers out there lately. I've had two duds listing the same item twice. I called ebay to see if the person was real once I accepted the second offer. Both offers had 0 feedback. The second time I accepted the offer I was skeptical because the first dud offer was a Washington DC address and the second Dud offer was out of Maryland and that is very close proximity to DC. The ebay representative said yes, it was a real person who had purchased other items but had no feedback yet. He lied because investigating the address I found the address listed is actually a Catholic Center called Gallagher Center a Senior Living Center for Aging Care. The name: well, I called the number to the Gallagher Center and no one by that name lives there. So, looks like I will wait the few days and then cancel. AGAIN. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN. Simply put; there is no system in place to prevent scamming. Someone out there is having fun with the ebay system, probably a youngster because I don't see any benefit from this behavior. This is just one example of a non-payer. Ebay does nothing to a person who does not pay. It is very aggravating to spend the time to list something, sell the item only to find out the person doesn't carry through with paying, then have to wait, then cancel, then relist. That's just one of the reasons I've moved most of my listing to other sites. I'm a seasoned 22 year ebay member and have finally become very disgusted with ebay practices. Sorry to hear your story, feel fortunate that it doesn't happen to you often because you are on your own when that happens.
