Scammers and Biiders that don't pay

[hawkesnest1982]

Why can't we make a rule that anyone under 5 Ebay feedback reviews can't bid on items more then $250, the amount of scammers on here is disgusting and it makes selling a pain in the @#$. More and more it just makes sense to sell local and avoid this place.

Also, just tried to sell an Iphone it went the 7 days and as soon as the bidding ended and it  sold the person said they didn't have the money, why can't we have some type of hold for buyers, so that when they they bid they pay, instead of them being able to back out as soon as the listing ends?  You shouldn't be able to bid on things if you don't have the money right then and there....

Is Ebay anti-Seller?

Boy that is frustrating, remember "scammers never let a good crisis go to waste" and Iphones, electronics, better jewelry are scam magnets right now and mix that with a little slow delivery service with carriers you will have many sleepless nights in Seattle". I myself have haulted all listings for a few months until this horrible nightmare slows and I understand alot of sellers cannot do this but be a little more diligent on what you list right now, we'll get thru this!

AND HOW!

Instead of using the auction format, use Fixed Price, with Immediate Payment Required.  That way, the listing stays up until the item is paid for.

about once a month I get a zero feedback bomber who manages to end my listing.  10 and under should be prohibited from Buy it Now over a set price, perhaps $500.  

I can't set for immediate payment because the items in question have no shipping. 

I just file NPB as soon as I am able and close the case - automatic assistant for some reason does not catch these guys.  99% I never hear a peep from, once in a while one claims they made a "mistake" ... no idea how since you have to click through two screens to end a listing.

IT doesn't matter how many feedbacks someone has. I have had buyers with feedback in the hundreds and thousands and still stiff me. I had one when I ran an auction (which btw, I never do, I have ran them maybe once or twice a year) and the person had over 2000 feedback and retracted their bids on all 11 auctions I ran at that time. IT was about two years ago. I looked this person up and they had over 300 retractions!! How is this even allowed?

So no point in having a block on someone with feedback less than 5, 10 or whatever, if they are not gonna pay they are just not gonna pay. IT is what it is and ebay will always allow it. Thats why we have cases we can open and wait god knows how long before closing it out and getting our fees back. I get 0 feedback buyers all the time and they always go absolutely smooth. I haven't had one under 10 or the had 0 that didn't pay me after putting in an offer or in the rare ocassion I run a auction.
I see these posts all the time. IT doesn't not matter about how much feedback they have. Everyone starts out with 0 -10 feedback and we build them up. I am sure that is how you started just like everyone else. How would you like it if you opened an account with 0 feedback and couldn't buy nothing? We would never have new buyers ever.
Just saying... and I think many others would agree.

Too many sellers/stores have it set to send an automatic good rating to buyers as soon as they purchase - That is how those bad buyers have so many good ratings. I never leave feedback on my buyers until at least a day or two after their item was delivered. In case of shenanigans.

We shouldn't stop there. Ebay should prohibit new and low feedback sellers from listing high dollar, high demand items until they have at least, say, 20 feedbacks and a minimum of $500 in their PayPal.

I do the same just incase something doesn't work out right and I can't leave anything but positive so if something happens I just don't leave anything. I leave my feedback usually once a week.

Yeah and I have some shenanigans happening now . I have a buyer that claims a charm wasn't on the keychain she bought from me. I know this isn't true  because the charm she is referring to  I clearly remember  wiping down before I shipped it  . It also happens to be the largest and most expensive item on the  keychain . I would have seen a 2 by 3 inch RARE  charm laying around  here,, if she didn't have it .  Anyway ,, I asked her to return for a refund  the first time she contacted me . She doesn't want to  return it instead she wants a whole brand new keychain  sent to her for free  and she added ASAP .  I said,, I'm sorry but no can do ,, its refunds by return only . I used to play along with this stuff   but experience  has taught me to be wiser than that .  Tulips
