Reply #6: non paying bidders are on the rise . . . [View All]

[DollyM]

I used to get a non paying bidder every once in a blue moon. Last week, I had two dolls up, both sold, both had non paying winners. One was even sniped in the last 10 seconds. Why snipe something when you are going to turn around and not pay for it? The other gave me this ridiculous story about how her 10 year old neice got on her account which was actually her grandmother's account who died two weeks ago, and she didn't even know about it because she was out of town at her father's funeral. Are you following me so far? Yeah, kind of the same reaction I had too. I went back and looked at her bidding history and apparently her dead grandmother how bought about $1000.00 in stuff in the last four weeks as well as several items after she was supposed to be dead, but she was a good dead grandma and at least paid for items. The last item that was bought and paid for was like the day before she emailed me and gave this story. I emailed her back and pointed out all the buying, paying and feedback leaving her dead grandmother had been doing. Of course, she knew she was busted and didn't respond. Just really pisses me off when someone makes up a story like that, two dead relatives in two weeks . . . especially when I just buried my own son a couple of months ago. Of course, we can't leave a negative anymore so both of these deadbeat bidders will go on their merry way. I hate ebay! They just keep screwing sellers more every day with all their changes and rules. They forget they wouldn't be here if it weren't for sellers.
