Rybags Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Do you specify inactive time in your auction? e.g. "Buyer is expected to make contact within 3 working days of the end of this auction, and payment within 7 days of auction end. If these conditions aren't met, the buyer will be reported and the item relisted". I've seen it plenty and don't have a problem with it. Of the things I've bought, I've never taken more than a day or two to get payment sent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I file as soon as it is available unless I agreed in advance to give the buyer more time. It is available after 7 days. This will get some people to pay but not all of them. Since eBay changed their feedback policy I have seen an increase in non paying bidders from buyers with better feedback.

I am seeing the same thing.More deadbeats.. Stared right after the policy changes and is getting worse due to the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 5 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I file it on the 8th day. Since 1999 when I started, I used it once. Since the new policies started, I have used it 5 times in the last month. I can't wait for these final auctions I have listed to end and I am leaving and never looking back. It used to be fun. They have changed it from fun to a stressful, annoying, complicated pile of crap full of deadbeats and scammers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky then the new feedback policy protects sellers from getting a neg feedback from non paying buyers No it doesn't. I got a negative from a non-paying bidder even after I completed the non-paying bidder report with ebay. Here is a quote from page. Enhanced protection for Unpaid Item: In addition to removing Feedback left by buyers who fail to respond to the Unpaid Item process, we now also remove Feedback when the buyer responds but it's clear they did not complete the transaction—for example, if they state they bought the item elsewhere or had a family emergency. Sellers don't deserve negative or neutral Feedback in such cases, and we now remove it. So Shawn i dont understand why ebay have not removed your neg feedback,unless it was given BEFORE the new rules were brought in.Its obvious that there is protection for sellers also.

the.golden.ax Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'd love to add the buyers to my blocked list if you don't mind posting their ID's. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AX Sounds like good advice,i have a seller with "0" feedback who has taken my money and wont answer my messages and its been 2 weeks since i paid her,so if it does not arrive on Monday,i will put in a "non arrived " claim and BURN THAT BITCH.

the.golden.ax Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I have one right now that has hit buy it now on a strat guide listing several times. He doesn't know English and wants me to explain why he now has to pay. He says he didn't agree to buy anything and told me to cancle the order. I think someone may be punking me... it doesn't seem real. The ignorance, plus the typing and English skills.... AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have one now. It's been over 2 weeks and no contact at all. I sent several messages (all polite) and nothing. It's my first ever. In this case I am kinda glad, as the sale price went a bit lower than what I was hoping for. Is there a blocked bidders list thread. Nice if we can pool our info so none of us get burned in teh future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I recently filed my first NPB ever. I received no communication from the buyer at all and wasted no time filing it as soon as the option was available. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah if someone has NO response, I go with the 8th day, or whenever I notice. I've had really bad luck selling Earthworm Jims for Genesis- at least two NPBs for those. I like it because some of the time you get a response after filing.

Crazy Climber Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I wait 2 weeks, if it's a zero feedback bidder I do it as soon as the option is available. With the new changes over at Ebay I have had many more NPB's then usual. Kind of lame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
