EBay non-payers

Recommended Posts

As you can't leave negative feedback for buyers on ebay (please enlighten me if you can) thought it worth a post to others to say that I've had 2 buyers not paid for items won in auction recently, and ignored all communication.

Seems to be on the rise - I have had several recently.  As you say there is no sanction - you can't leave neative feedback

You can leave a non payment strike against their account and as a seller you can set your settings to block anyone with say 2 non payment strikes and any given time period so they cant bid.

Other than that you have to suck it up.

You can do this two days after the auction closes, and then at least four days has to elapse from then before you can close the case, and claim your final value fees.

You should also block any bidders who either refuse to pay, or delay payment for no good reason.  This can be done by going to your "blocked buyer list" under the Help screen.

Have been waiting 2 weeks now for payment, I haven't heard nothing from the buyer. I opened an unpaid item case against the buyer 4 days ago and still have heard nothing, pissed off to say the least. What does recieve final value credit mean, when does it apply, also can I relist the item again, sorry but don't quite understand, could anyone shed any light on this please, any help would be very much appreciated, sorry but I hate F*****G time wasters, regards, Joe.

Joe, receiving a final value fee means that your fees for advertising/selling on Ebay will show as a credit on your next online invoice.  As four days has now elapsed since you opened the unpaid item dispute, you can now choose to either close the case and claim your fees, or keep it open.  I think Ebay close the case automatically within the space of a few weeks (I don't know how many exactly though) if you or the buyer don't take any action on it.  If this happens, then the case closes in your favour and your final value fees are credited to you.

No you can't leave negative feedback for a buyer, you used to be able to do it but it changed some years ago. Best put a non-payment claim in, block buyer from bidding on your stuff and request Ebay selling fees back, you will of course lose your initial listing fee. Bummer I know...................

Hi mate, thanks for that, think I understand it a bit better now, cheers.

If a buyer does not pay, why don't we start naming names, just view order details and it will give you names and addresses of the winning buyers on Ebay, who knows it may just make one or two of them sit up and think, as no doubt there will be some that are members on here. :g: As one guy said to me, I don't understand people bidding when they cant make payment, I replied I just don't understand people.

I've currently got 3 none-payers on Discogs and suffered several times on e-bay earlier this year from a couple of people who I thought would have known better. The e-bay ones were annoying because other people wanted the records at the time. I just don't get it........

What about sellers who can't produce the goods you've agreed to purchase, I've had 3 such sellers on Discogs in the last month.

Well, there's that too of course. There seems to be an awful lot of mis-listing going on. Pain in the ass.

At least on discog you have the 'non-paying buyer' option [after 5 days] which drags down their buyer rating. I insist on a 90% or better rating and still get time wasters.

I've just gone back onto my Sold ebay page to check and when i click on order details or print postage I get the following message;

The following critical errors have occurred.

ERROR - UNABLE_TO_GET_DATA_FROM_SERVICE

 

I would happily put their names on here if I could get them.

To conclude,  philippenriou_0 has just paid (20 days)! If naming and shaming works on here I'm expecting some rich payback feedback!

Just an added afterthought, noticed this on the ebay advice email:

Reversals:

Please be aware that your payment can still be reversed, (e.g. if it is subject to a chargeback), even after you have sent the item to your buyer. Complying with PayPal's Seller Protection and following the trading guidelines on our Security page helps to protect you from things like chargebacks.

Ebay really does favour the buyer.

i have someone on discogs who i contacted to let them know i either sent them the wrong record or somehow forgot to post, it so i posted it the next day. I asked him to post back anything i  sent him that was wrong and would reimburse the postage, his answer was just send me the record i have paid for. 2 days later he opens a dispute with paypal so they have withdrawn and hold the funds until dispute settled. it takes more than 2 days for post to reach the US. and he wont answer any messages, he hasnt even answered the email form paypal from the 7th, pisses me off as i know he will keep the record and then get a refund, so if someone in the US puts up a Rock Candy soon it is the re-issue one and he will try to pass it as original. i have 100% feedback on discogs the knob who bought it has 85% i should have checked.

I always wince a bit if I have a first order from a new buyer as they don't always know the procedures or don't have Paypal blah blah blah. I'd say that 99.5% of Discogs transactions are successful which, also co-incidentally, is my Feedback Rating......... :)

Yep, you're absolutely right. My fault entirely. I think I'd already sold the record at that point and may have been in a frenzied state-of-mind or something. Anyway, you're right. No excuse for bad manners and I humbly apologize good sir.

Ian D :)

PS This is the first time I've been accused of REFUSING someone's cash. I'll sell you anything mate! :)
