argh! okay so i sold something on ebay via buy it now. the buyer just emailed and said they can't buy it after all

Posted by kare (aka kare) Jan 19 '09, 12:49

with a bit of a sob story and asking me to do a mutual withdrawal instead of non-paying bidder so she doesn't get dinged.

i have no freaking idea what to do. tell me what to do, TT!

Withdraw and move on. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 19, 13:00 1
- I agree, you don't want to risk negative feedback. -- nm - lileve Jan 19, 13:08
This ought to be illegal. -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 12:57
try to be nice. no matter how right you are, getting a potential negative feedback removed from a deadbeat is a major pain in the ass -- nm - peglegpete Jan 19, 12:55 3
- i can't even effing figure out how to do this. i hate ebay. -- nm - kare Jan 19, 12:56 2
  - Use the live cahat and they will link you. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 19, 12:58 1
    - thanks, you guys. -- nm - kare Jan 19, 13:05
Did they contact you or respond to you? - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 19, 12:53
What was the explaination for not buying it? (I lean towards dinging.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 12:53 5
- it was an impulse buy because it was her birthday and she thought she deserved it but her husband said it was stupid to buy and by the way - kare Jan 19, 12:54 4
  - *ding* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 19, 13:03
  - eh. ebay is a contact sport. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 12:57
  - ask for a photocopy of a disability chq. -- nm - zork Jan 19, 12:55
  - *writes this down for next time* -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 12:55
ding her. -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 12:51
Eh, just withdraw. It'll take you longer to go through the process again if you wait to ding her. -- nm - kelly Jan 19, 12:51
Be nice. -- nm - Loyola Jan 19, 12:50
withdraw. You're not going to get money out of that guy and the mutual withdrawal will let you relist quickly -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 12:50 3
- she said something about paying me for the relisting fees. right! -- nm - kare Jan 19, 12:51 2
  - well, I don't think there are any if you agree to dispute it mutually -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 12:53 1
    - Not dispute, cancel. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 19, 12:54
ding her - zork Jan 19, 12:50 3
- the sob story is likely just an excuse and she found it elsewhere -- nm - zork Jan 19, 12:50 2
  - Exactly. Look at what auctions she has bid/won. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 19, 12:55 1
    - i can't figure out how to look at those, but i can see that she has a phone listed for sale (she was buying a phone from me) - kare Jan 19, 13:00
