Question for other eBayer coin dealers/sellers

ManorcourtmanManorcourtman Posts: 8,024 ✭✭✭✭✭
Can you search for a eBay members current bids? Against my better judgment I let a 0 rated bidder win one of my auctions last weekend. He has failed to contact me after emails. He is now bidding on two more of my auctions that are over this weekend. I am thinking of cancelling his bids and blocking him from my coin auctions. I'd like to search his bidding activity to see if he's a scam. Thanks for your input. I know this is going to end up getting me a negative on eBay but sometimes you have to put a stop to crappy bidders like this. BTW his eBay ID is wyck45 in case any of you slueths can help. Thanks, Chris

  • Chris,
    Just go to search and type in his user name under bidder. Then you could see what else they are bidding on. I would cancel his bids until you hear from him, also if it's been more then I think 10 days aleart ebay as a non paying bidder. They will send him an email to remind him to contact you. Since they are newbies maybe they don't know how it works yet. Don't leave negative feedback yet, hold off until you know for sure the guy is a deadbeat. IMO

    Looks to me like you have a flake on your hands. Can't really tell if it is a scam or not. If you do get payment from him, be very careful, there has been a huge problem lately with bidders like this sending phoney cashier's checks. I would cancel his bids, block him, and file to get the fees back on the coin he won. Here is what he has bid on in the last thirty days:

    He's not a true zero feedback bidder either. He has a positive, and a negative for guess what - not paying.

    That's a lot of items won more than three weeks ago to have no feedback on almost all of those items. My guess is that a lot of sellers are waiting for this person to pay up, too.

    I would cancel them bids quickers than you can say "trigger happy 12 year old".

    << <i>I would cancel them bids quickers than you can say "trigger happy 12 year old". >>

    And block the bidder. Which reminds me -- I'd better go do it...
  • cancel his bids and block immediately.

    Wow!!! That guy is into people for several thousand dollars!! Everyone should block him now. I just cancelled his bids with me and blocked him. Thanks to all for the fantastic links and advice. This is why eBay gets a bad name around here. I hope noone else gets burned by him. This should get interesting in the coming days/weeks. Chris

    Sorry but I had to post this once more to fellow sellers. Avoid this loser like the plague. I left neg. feedback to warn the others. What a negative to eBay. Jerks like this give new buyers a bad name. Chris

    Blocked. Thanks! Possibly just a kid having fun, but eBay should have caught it by now.
