Sweet revenge against an abusive buyer

Feels so good. eBay has become a joke and I’m a casual seller so I couldn’t care less about feedback. Seems every buyer has learned they can work the system with no consequences. 

I sold an item and the buyer was taking a long time to pay. His response to my messages was “u wait, me pay”. He eventually paid after about 4 days but my trust was gone and I never intended to ship. I resisted and resold the item for $100 more than he paid and I turned his 4 day annoyance back on him only he had to wait 2 weeks for his refund. 

Yesssss!!!!!!

Re: Sweet revenge against an abusive buyer

I had a few buyers do **bleep** things over the years, but I sure hope I never feel the need to do something like this and actually feel good about it.  Four days was a bridge too far for you?  If that is your definition of abuse, then list with immediate payment required and ditch the auction format.

Really? And you're proud of that?

Re: Sweet revenge against an abusive buyer

Does this trash talk relate to life in general for you?? eBay doesn't need sellers like you. At least be smart enough to keep your vindictive "conquests" to yourself. You shouldn't and won't get much support for this here.

Kind of scary what makes some people "feel so good".

Evening,

 

I imagine you must be one "sweet" buyer as well.

I am sincerely sorry that you felt so overwhelmed by selling here that this kind of behavior is acceptable much less makes you feel like celebrating.

 

You breached a few selling rules here with how you handled this situation.  So don't get too excited yet.  If your buyer reports you, there could still be some consequences to come.  Least of which may be Karma!

My first thought is that I failed to see anything abusive about this buyer - only the seller seemed abusive. 

 

My second thought is that I hope someone from eBay has read your post and added a note to a file somewhere.

How about caring about buyers because it is the right thing to do?  You give sellers - full time or casual - a bad name.

And what reason did you use to cancel?  Hopefully you choose out of stock.  Do it a couple more times that way.  Please.
