Why do they do it...?

[Da]

Some fooking c**k-jockey has clicked on Buy it now for one of my auctions. He/She hasn't completed the checkout nor do I believe they will after 3/4 reminders. I cannot put a non-paying bidder complaint in until the 18th, then they have 7 days to reply meaning that an auction that had like 20 watchers and would have finished last weeeknd has been ruined and delayed by 2/3weeks minimum. BTW it's for £700 so I need the complaint in my favour to lose the final value fee and get the free re-listing.

The ebay ID of the tosser is flamers06 who has zero feedback and has been a member since 04/2006. I have tried the phone number registered with ebay but it's not in use

I'm STILL waiting for eBay to get off their arses and give me my final value fee back! The dispute is still open and I'm no closer to relisting as it will charge me (again) if I don't wait for the dispute to be finalised!

can you not block buyers who don't have a certain level of feedback?

 

[Da]

You can block bidders yes mate but i don't think that applies to the Buy It Now feature I will check when I relist though!

Anybody fancy some spamming? :evil:

 

[cat171]

yep, you can block loads of things on there to stop dodgy people from bidding.
You can also make the item only available to 'pre approved' bidders too.

 

[Storm_Force]

yep also for buy it now items you can set it for immediate payment etc.

god...ive had a few occasions with some time wasters...i dont see the point...it winds me up

grrr

 

[Giles]

ebay is getting really bad

 

[miltage2]

it certainly is!

 

[cat171]

I think that the reason that it's got so bad lately is beacuse they keep advertising it in tv, all of fthe dodgy scum bags are on there now:dapprove: - not to mention flaming Nigerian scam artists (we all know the ones I mention)

I have given up on buy it now for items of any real value as they keep being bought by someone who wants to wire me the money even though i state paypal only.

Tis rubish i tells ya

i bought a star trek boxset off someone and after 7 days and no response i emailed the seller and 4 days later they replyed saying they were having trouble with there supplier (amazon). the only reason i went for ebay to get the star trek box set was because amazon had bumped the price up from £40 to £60 so what a bullshitter thinks im a compleet mug and that i dont know about any other websites.
