F@#king Foreign eBay Knobs!

[Dave..]

Just sold a set of alloys, spent hours spraying them and making them look decent, set my advert up, specifically said no foreign bidders, I won't send the wheels abroad.

Link to the alloys

Copy of highest bidders address:

His location is listed on eBay as being in the UK.

What steps can I take now?

 

[Pinky_Boi]

cancel the transaction with him and take up the second highest offer?

 

[Needster]

^ Yep.

Some b*****d did it to me with a mobile phone. Ooooft. So annoying.

 

[Dave..]

I've given a second chance offer to the next highest bidder, how to I get rid of the other tw*t?

 

[DrR]

I wouldn't give a refund. Just give him the option of collection.

Oh also set up your auctions so people with no feedback can't bid

 

[Dave..]

He's not even paid yet. Had no contact from him, and he was bidding right up until the end.

 

[DrR]

He probably proxie bidded? Just edit your buyer preferences, I've had no probs since doing that.

 

[Needster]

You need to email eBay IIRC. They then ban the user (I think) then they'll tell you what to do. It's a fradulent bid I think it's classed as.

 

[Earpl]

you can change your settings so only UK bidders can bid mate, also people with non payment strikes + bad feedback can also be banned.

 

[Dave..]

That will definatly be done. Had the mess around from a portugeasuesaue (sp?) last auction I listed.

 

[Needster]

eBay is swiftly becoming a waste of time and expensive! Hardly worth selling anything on there these days!

Hope it all sorts out pal.

 

[Ali]

Hate eBay...Full of Immigrant sellers!

 

[Dave..]

Thanks Needster, doubt the second chance offer will get taken, as he was bidding against the romanian prick, from £100 upwards.

I could have really used that £155 as well, or what little would have been left after eBay dip their hands in.

Hope it all sorts out pal.

Amen ... 10% selling fees?

Sod off!

 

[Beef-Mc]

You never know, he might be on his way to pick them up

 

[Reyes]

f**king hate aliens!

 

[Sargara]

Amen ... 10% selling fees?

Sod off!

Not to mention Paypals cut for transaction fees or whatever the hell they hide it as.

 

[Gally]

I have to say in thsese cases it's the sellers fault for not setting prefrences.

Simple thing to do, they need a card registered with paypal ect... or they can't bid.

They need +5 feedback and no unpaid strikes, they must be registered in the uk.

It's not difficult and it stops this happening.

 

[.Simon]

Yup ... it's stupid.

Oh, and that you can't add P&P costs to certain items ... although I've read that this will change next week.
