****** eBay Timewaster - Mk1 Parts Sellers Beware !! *******

I'm being given the runaround by an ebay member called ellieness90  who won a set of chrome door pulls from me over a week ago. They still haven't paid and are now claiming they cannot afford them. If you're a seller on ebay and don't want to go through the annoyance of a non-paying bidder then it might be wise to add them to your blocked bidders list (click on the A-Z directory and you'll find this list)

Seems to be happening more and more, I had someone the other day win an item I was selling and then say they couldn't afford it this week do I mind waiting till his payday? I mean come on guys!

The annoying thing is Ebay has left the door wide open for people like this  

me too…a guy from Mexico bought an item…..sayin he is sending money to his pay-pal….will send a deposit ect ect….
still nothing…………

I get questions from Mexicans all the time and always hope they don't bid !

You could always make it a condition of the sale that you require and instant PayPal payment.

I think you can only apply that to BUY IT NOW listings, rather than auctions  

I was just bidding on a set of clocks, pick up only from co Durham.  I had the only bid of £0.99 so he took them off sale, no PM no nothing.  I had even PM'd him asking what he wanted for them and telling him I could go pick them up any time.  Waster

I recently bidded on a set of G60 steel wheels for £33 which I won and then the seller claimed he was stopped by the Police and told to change his wheels as they were too wide.  :x If that wasn't bad enough, I then won another set of wheels and Buy It Now for £60 only to be told that his son wanted the wheels after all….. Anyway I am just about to buy a set of wheels off this forum which I should have done in the first place.

I have to say I have been lucky selling stuff on Ebay but I have heard of a few horror stories. What you can state is No Overseas Bidders as a possible deterant.

Q: is there a fingerprint in the "WAGE" area??
A: Yes, there is. You work in forensics by any chance ? ;-)


 :wink:  

i had this problem i had a polish guy win my 740i bmw after it ended he said i will be in the uk in a months time will i keep the car for him and he will pay me when he gets here. best of it was i had put at bottom of listing "car to be collected and paid for within 48hrs"
i just did second chance offer and sold it to other guy. it can be annoying on ebay
