Another deadbeat bidder to add to your blocked list

This was the email I received:

Hi, I'm sorry to say, I am not going to be able to pay for this card. I would have told you sooner but I was hoping a friend would want. I'd like to try to persuade you to do a mutual agreement not to complete the transaction. If you don't give me a negative feedback it would be good, for me. I hope this won't cause you to much trouble, financially or other wise. I'm sorry that I made an offer on the card with out thinking of the fact that it needs to be paid for, very foolish, in the future I hope I'll think ahead of time. sincerely Phil

    Perhaps he thought that once you accepted his offer you would take beads and trinkets as payment instead of cash.

  • That guy seems to have his act together. I hope he'll consider being my financial advisor.

    Keep him in your ebay favorites. Everytime he has something for sale, bid like hell, with an alt ID of course!image

    I would do as he asked. He seemed sincere.

    Looks like his eyes were bigger then his wallet.


    File and get your fees back.


    Steve

    Good for you.

    He does seem sincere. What is his buying/bidding/Feedback history?
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    He also may have thought he had a buyer for it and was trying to flip it. He does mention something to that effect.

    The bottom line is he can't pay for it so If I was you I'd inform Ebay so i could
    get my fees back and then I'd add this guy to my blocked bidders list.

    Steve
    Good for you.

    File a non-paying-bidder complaint, let Ebay slap him with an NPB strike first, then apply the neg. This sort of BS needs to be discouraged.

    "I wonder if this would work with my credit card bills. "

    //////////////////////////////////////////////

    Yes, it will.

    BUT, they will leave you a NEG at the three major credit bureaus.

  • "it would be good, for me"

    He needs a negative to keep him from doing the same thing to other sellers.
  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    Just be advised that if he replies to the ebay NPB form he too can leave feedback.

    Good for you.

    Sincere? LOL

    Yea sure, all deadbeats are "sincere" for some reason, but they're still deadbeats. Yes, neg him!
