Default Ebay Stalking - My new pastime...... :cry:

I have fooking had enough of Ebay messers who bid on your item, win it, then don't pay. Even when they are there at the end increasing their bid, which must mean they are online, they still can't do the right thing.

Well, I am not taking their 5hit. I ring them now and ask them nicely to pay.

One guy who has not paid me for an item that he bought off me 2 weeks ago got a shock yesterday. He has listed his address and Mobile number, but everytime I ring it I get no answer. So, I went to Directory Enquiries and got his home number!! I then phoned him and had a word with his old man. I called back last night and spoke to the actual guy and he was a little stuck for words. He is gonna get a call from me every day until I get paid. I don't think they expect to get a call from you, I think they are mostly keyboard warriors.

The worst bit is if I leave him Negative Feedback (which he deserves), he is just going to fire it straight back at me. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this?

So, on Ebay, don't mess with me!!

I cannot believe how ebay can not have numbers listed to support their customers. I know ebay is not the "Seller" but they must have to hold responisibilities of hosting all those sales.
Id say 90% of auctions are fine but I always look at there feedback and have recently started cancelling bids

I would have thought that they could implement some kind of decent Verification system, so buyers have to have a confirmed address and landline telephone number, even if you had to pay a nominal fee to join.

I am helping a guy out who got stung for nearly Ł500 for an item that I VERY nearly bought, hopefully he is going to go and visit the guy!!

Shame really, because Ebay is so handy, just a shame that a few have to ruin it.

the feedback system is absolute wank, thats half the problem - people dont leave bad feedback for (0) raters cos they know they'll get it back themselves even though they've done nothing wrong

so buyers have to have a confirmed address and landline telephone number
dont see that could work, as like myself people move, and dont have a landline, only mobiles, which ive change the number on many times


And to get you neg feedback removed, reply to it saying something like the bidders a gay homo cock sucking prick he should be offened and report you, ebay will give you a warning at most a 30 day ban and also remove the complete feedback
