I need help. Please don't judge.

My buyer paid for second item instead of the first. I know she will not get the other one.I sold the second one too cheap. Long story. I did post about this elsewhere.I filed npb on both.She was under the gun. Paypal says she just paid. She noted she is buying this one first and will pay for the other one later.She tried to coerce me into saying I would wait for payment on the second one if she paid for the first one. I didn't answer.I am so mad I feel sick.It didn't show on here so I tried to cancel but I can't because there is a case open.

I don't think she held up what she said she was going to do first.

OP, the first thing you do is block the bidder so they can not buy more of your items.

 

You can cancel, which will auto refund if you do it through ebay.  And as was noted, ebay will give you a defect for the cancel.  But one defect will not damage your account too bad.  So if you have not done something else, like cancel other items, or not responded to any disputes, then one defect isn't the end of the world.

I held up my half. I was going to sell both even knowing I made a mistake. Her first echeck bounced.


WOW! An amazing coincidence since you dont want to sell to her, also a really speedy bounce of an echeck, usually it takes a few days

The echeck bounced after 2 days then I filed NPB that night. Tonight it will be 4

The echeck was only partial payment.

Who's to say this one won't as well?

If the buyer is overseas, this may be one of those times they pay with a echeck hoping the seller ships then the echeck bounces.

She asked AFTER she won the auction when she didn't have any money. She won a $300 auction from someone else the other day.

I'm not worried about selling them at any price right now. This buyer is making me physically ill.

Not something I wouold normally recommend, but since it seems to be causing stress related health issues, you might want to consider cancelling and taking the defects.  That might solve your problems of listing here and facing this kind of thing again.

@shop*posh  Um The only way the buyer could make a (partial) payment is by you giving her your PayPal email address. That likely means you also agreed to a partial payment.

 

If that communication went through eBay messages, eBay will charge you the fvf, regardless of whether payment is eventually made.

 

 An echeck is processed twice by PayPal.  You do get a notice from PayPal that the check failed - and that they will process it again. If it fails the second time, PayPal notifies you and THEN you can file a UPI.

I'm confused as to how you can even do that. Did you send her an invoice for a lesser amount?

The OP says the buyer wanted two items, and paid for one - partial payment.

Re: I need help. Please don't judge.

OP, if the payment is an echeck and paypal does NOT say OK to ship - you do not ship the item yet, and the odds are good that the check will bounce and you should be able to call ebay - ask for dispute resolution - and then get them to close the unpaid you filed that was stopped with the bouncing echeck and get your fees back.

 

And do not relist the items back on ebay until you get a LOT more selling feedback, because you might not get so lucky the next time and lose your items and the money to a better scammer.

 

If I remember right, this is the $6,000 Chanel purse seller, right?

If you can't say NO and file and close the unpaid item disputes when available without getting sick, perhaps selling high priced items is not a good idea.  Or any kind of items on eBay.

 

The tools are there to deal with this kind of situation.  From another thread of yours it appears you could have closed one UID already to solve at least one of these problems.  Do it.  Then file the UID on the other.
