Non-paying bidders
« on: 19 September 2006, 21:54:15 »

As you can guess, I have yet another non-paying self abuser on Ebay! This time for the w-reg Omega.

This is were the Ebay system is wrong because you leave negative feed back because the buyer will not pay and you get negative feedback for doing nothing wrong at all. I hope his next sh*t is a hedgehog :o

F*****g idiots really do spoil it for everyone. Ebay is a great idea in principle, but there are always w*****s who just "play" it for fun. If the knobheads in charge made it quite clear that if you didn't pay without good reason you would be barred from trading for life, then I'm sure it wouldn,t happen so often.

But, of course, they still make money no matter what happens >:( >:( >:(

I voted for "Send a dog turd" because my dog would do the honours and I think it would be well worth the postage.

However, don't send it recorded delivery as there is an offence of sending noxious substances in the mail and we wouldn't want to fall foul of that one!

By the way, if you want to buy one of my dog's turds for this specific reason I could always list it on ebay!!

i just ignore - i know, its unlike fericious me!!!

recover your fees and block the bidder - pointless neg feedback`ing them as they will simply retalliate. Ebay needs to start taking a tougher stance in this though

Mine was the other way about, the seller renaged on the deal after bidding had ended and gave some unbelievable reason for it.
The real reason was I was the only bidder and the bid was not what he wanted for the item, although there was no reserve. I left negative feedback and also got one in return. Complained to e-bay, but nothing happened as the seller was a high seller off e-bay.

Ebay has its shares of winkers to be honest. I just seem to draw them like magnets.

The only way to stop potential numptys is to have a 'closed' auction in which bidders have to be pre-approved by me. BUT it still does not guarantee that they will complete a sale.

I like the fact that the poll indicates the dog turd as the best way forward. ;D

Four weeks ago i sold a citroen xantia lhm pump and distribution unit for the suspension/brakes and power steering unit to a bloke off ebay for £5.00.

He then asks me to post it to Paris, i say this is fine and quote him £27,00 for delivery.

He emails me back saying it is too much and it all starts from there.

This bloke is such a waster and i offered for him to find a courier but he did nothing.

£27,00 to go to paris i think that is pretty god dame cheap.

I have just had someone pull out of buying my caravan - won't bore you with the details, but they were the second bunch of gits to screw me around.

I have always found the following couple of methods of revenge both satisfying and entertaining.

1. Collect several nice & fresh dog turds, place them in a reasonably thin paper bag. Then place the paper bag (full of turds) on the offending persons doorstep. Set fire to the paper bag, ring the doorbell and retire to a safe distance. Most peoples response to seeing a bag on fire on the doorstep is to do all they can to stamp out the fire. Imagine how satisfying the resulting scene is!!

2. On a single sheet of paper simply print these few words; THE POLICE ARE WATCHING YOU - ACT NORMAL. Send this by post to the object of revenge ensuring there are no clues as to who posted it. Probably best to post it from a different postal area! It's surprising how suspicious people look for a while after receiving this little note. Tee hee.

Cheers,

Dave.
