Trun the tables: HORRID EBAY BUYERS

[soulwish2003]

I see too many people complaning about bad sellers. How about a bad buyer thread?

I listed ~20 items that ended last weekend. Here is what I am up against so far:

1 - buyer not responding to emails

2 - another buyer not responding to emails

3 - All of my auctions stated U.S. and Canada only. 4 people over seas bid... Italy, Japan, and 2 in Australia.

4 - Buyer from Australia did a really quick check out and only paid the $2 shipping that was for U.S. and Cananda buyers. He owes me another $8 and his emails are bouncing.

5 - One seller who won an auction 10 days ago finally gives me this response (yes i'm having problems, bear with me, i will pay you for this item ? thank you).

6 - Another auction a few weeks ago... I get a neutral feedback because 'the box was damaged and torn up by the post office'.



In closing, I think the buyers suck as hard as some of the sellers.

We complain about bad buyers all the time to, it's just a recent trend.

Personally the worst I've ever had was a request for a BIN price, one that was $5 lower than the current auction price and the auction priced hadn't even changed in the last day.

Somebody did one of these like 1-2 weeks ago.

If you truly don't want anyone outside your authorized locations bidding you can automaticaly lock them out under your seller preferences.

I'll dig up exactly where you set this if you want me to.
