eBay

Recently had a "Buyer" Win an auction after outbidding everyone. Had 400+ feedbacks so I didn't think about checking the feedbacks yet. After 48 hours I messaged him asking for payment and I got an excuse he'd Pay tomorrow and this went on for a few days before I checked his feedbacks. After the few days I checked this Bidders feedbacks and he has over 40 Feedbacks for nonpayment in the last 6 months alone....

I reached out to Ebay on this one to see why they'd be letting someone with so many nonpayment cases opened on him and they informed me Theres a list of nonpayment cases opened against this buyer The Ebay Agent I spoke with stoped counted after she reached over 30 nonpayment strikes on his account but had no reason as to why hes still able to continue this.

Do these Non-payment cases even do anything anymore? I already have people with nonpayment strikes eliminated from being able to purchase so Im not sure how he was able to bid either. Anyone else dealing with anything like this?

If a buyer does not pay, just move on. Nothing to get mad about. I don't even ask them to pay. I just wait for eBay to close the case and relist the item.

Likewise. If they don't pay me within the allotted four days, eBay cancels the sale automatically and I move on. I'll put non-payers on my BBL, but otherwise I don't get too bothered about it. One of my best buyers stopped buying last year (not in mid-transaction with me), and I later found out that he'd died of Covid. That's when you see the difference between what's important and what isn't, if you know what I mean.

The false-positive feedback comments have been removed … leaving only the positive ratings for the deadbeat buyers. 😐

I surely hope the OP comes up with a better way to deal with what is truly an infuriating problem for sellers. Maybe ‘Immediate Payment Required’ BINs?

And I'd still like to know how/if an eBay CS rep actually told the OP how many UPI strikes a buyer had accumulated.

My guess is that the OP might have been able to extract that information from a rep. They sounded very persuasive in their poof posts.

OR they could have made up the whole thing. 🤨 🤔

Some CSR's are not that well trained. They may not always follow the "scripted" rules.

I've had several non-payments in the past year to highest bidder, and with no response even after I've contacted them and sent invoices. NOT COOL!!

Nope. The OP is continuing to leave false Positives. Seems like some people just do not learn.

So, after 4 days of nonpayment, are you not cancelling, citing buyer didn't pay as the reason?

Isn’t that in some ways worse than non-payment? It can certainly feel worse. It’s just so disrespectful.

A non-payment won’t make or break you (well, unless you only sell a couple of Rolexes a year or something) and people can have issues, a sudden change of circumstances, heck, they may have changed their mind for a reasonable cause - they may have missed a detail LATE on the item which makes it no longer suitable, for example (yes, it would be their fault, but still), or had set up a snipe, then forgot to cancel it, or had set up multiple snipes for same type item needing only one but forgot to set it so the snipes stop after winning ONE, etc, but are now trapped in a purchase “contract” they’re unhappy with...

The fact is, if you were dealing face to face with people, you would be likely to exercise a bit more empathy and kindness, especially if the buyer is respectful, and you would let them off, right? I had a seller so lovely that she refunded me in full after buying a t-shirt (upon my returning it) simply because I didn’t like the design on it, and it wasn’t quite how it seemed to me in the pic! What a star!

But fully IGNORING messages from a seller you leave in a lurch is very bad form! Don’t do it unless you’re an ass.

Yowza..... 7 months later and the OP is still leaving false-positive feedbacks.

Wow. This necro thread is probably going to get closed out soon anyway but I just took another peek at the OPs Feedback Left for Others page and he is continuing to carpet-bomb non-payers in feedback. I hope it makes him feel better.
