Think they can deduct it from your linked bank account or credit card in dispute cases. I think you need to delete these from your profile as well

Eyup carl, what's his username? We could watch to see if he lists anything and then get a few of us to place ridiculous bids (£1000 and £1050) - then the geezer has to spend ages filling out non-paying-bidder forms and stuff to get the final selling price commission credited back to him? If it happened towards the end of ebays billing month and the guy is set up to pay his fee's by direct debit then it'll be even more of a nightmare for him as they'll automatically take the money from him.

If you really wanted to string it out you could keep him hanging on payment for a week or two as well? You would prolly need to set up some new accounts to avoid losing your honorable/good feedback account which has been in good standing for a long time.

Obviously this is just a mythical joke idea which should never be tried at home, but drop me a pm if you need any help

You sound experienced Paul!

I will say that non-paying bidders are a big problem when you've sold a high value item and ebay take the selling fee's from you before you've been paid, and then the NPB forms take ages to have anything done with them...

But if it happened to someone who deserved it, then I guess it's kinda funny still, it depends on the guy actually selling anything

On a side note, had any thoughts on my offer for your lounger Paul?

Was it 50p and a couple of acorns or something? My inbox is at 98% full so I just deleted it tbh. Already had one guy offering £100 to collect it this weekend but there's 9 watching it with 5 days today so I'm quietly confident.

I believe it was an entire bag of acorns. But hey, if you don't want them someone else will.

I'd reconsider that offer reeder... you know if you win it it will arrive sticky

Not having received the item back I appealed the case and Ebay closed it without even checking!

So he gets to confirm receipt and I'm down £170 quid AND I've lost a set of GSXR wheels.

Ebay, You are a bunch of scamming *****!

I'm now stuck in the queue on the helpline after having to lie about the problem to even get a contact number.

Buyers have all the powers now. Sellers are the **** on the end of the stick.

Fuming!

Ebay: "Case closed: Appeal denied
You don't need to do anything else."

You want a ******* bet?

So wait a second... You sent him wheels, he got crisps? He appealed and got the money back and now you have to chase the wheels with Parcelforce?

That does suck. I havnt yet sold anything on Ebay, I do worry that people like these will flood me, knowing my luck they would!!!
