robhybrid Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Unfortunately I think he has 60 days to leave feed back and if you give him bad feed back I am sure he will do like wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yes, 2 weeks is plenty of time, besides he should not of bid if he culd not afford it. make an offer to the next highest bidder but insist on payment straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go thru the ebay channels for reporting a non paying bidder, the feedback will be irrelevent after you have started this process. How much are you looking to get for the ipod? hehe!

TJ101 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 dependes how you valve you own feedback, if 100% etc, i would file for not payer refund and then relist, but expect a tit for tat feedback, if you leave a neg,,do his at 59 days 23 hour 55 mins etc, I sold a Musto jacket , bloke was in Demark, and mailed that he could not afford to buy now, so i relisted it, and just left it at that, without a neg, came back later and bought another one together woth one for his mate, £ 600 worth, so they are not all pillocks !!

Guest MJG Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 sold my ipod on ebay 2 weeks ago on sundayi waited a week and no payment......... emailed the buyer so sent a reply saying that he had not got the money to buy it yet....... but it would be sorted in a couple of days. i still have no payment.... how long should i wait?...... can i leave him some carp feedback and re-advertise or do i have togo through ebay? Covered here:- http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/bidders_contact.html ebay is OK approx 99% of the time but it just needs an idiot like this to spoil it. Follow the instructions contained in the link above and eventually you get your listing fee and final value fee back and be able to re-list your iPod. eBay help with this sort of event is normally great but oh God is it slow....... work your way thru' all the steps and eventually (and I do mean eventually) you will get back what you expended in listing and 'selling' this item. I now tend just to sell/buy small low value items (up to about £20) on eBay as I had my fingers very nearly burnt a number of months ago (buying an iPod as it happens) reckon trading in high roller numbers is not just not worth the risk...... and it spoils the fun.....

Budgie Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I always make sure I state on the auction "Payment to be with me within 7 days of the close of auction". 5 days after the auction close, if no payment or explanation has been received, I email the buyer informing them that they only have two days left to make payment and if nothing is received by that time then a "None Paying Bidder" will be filed against them with Ebay, neg feedback left and the next highest bidder will be offered the item. If I get an email back saying that they have just posted the money then they get 3 more days and but no more than that. I also block anyone from outside the UK from bidding as well as anyone with -1 feedback and I think the last one is anyone with a "None Paying bidder" listed against them in the last month, but not sure on that one. I also ask anyone with less that a feedback rating of 5 or less to email me before bidding or their bids will be removed. You've got to do all this now cos you just don't know who is out there.
