Whats going on with people and ebay

I never had this happen to my but I sold a few thing on ebay and now it seems like no one paying for them I had to open 14 case on the people. This is crazy.

    I have been discovering that low priced items ($20 and under) sold to low feedback bidders seem to get lost by the USPS unless I add delivery confirmation. It is also amazing the knowledge of eBay rules & procedures new eBay members have demonstrated recently image

    They must have studied the handbook before joining.

    I have received ZERO feedback for the last 8 items I have sold
  • I'm amazed by the number of buyers lately who say they never received their cards when DC shows otherwise.
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    People are people so why should it be
    You and I should get along so awfully
    People are people so why should it be
    You and I should get along so awfully

    So we're different colors and we're different creeds
    And different people have different needs
    It's obvious you hate me though I've done nothing wrong
    I never even met you so what could I have done

    I can't understand what makes a man
    Hate another man, help me understand

    Now you're punching and you're kicking and you're shouting at me
    I'm relying on your common decency
    So far it hasn't surfaced but I'm sure it exists
    It just takes a while to travel from your head to your fist

  • To all sellers, use delivery confirmation on all shipments. eBay will back you with a dispute. I have not been held accountable since using a tracking number.

    I agree, your really taking chances not using DC.

    how long did you wait before opening NPB claims?
    did you manually send an invoice or did you allow ebay to do it for you?
    what are the values on these 14 items? 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 or more?

    I have noticed a rise in NPB since Dec 1, Have 4 NPB ers right now that are riding on day 7 to day 11. I haven't opened up a case on any of the 4 NPB ers yet, as I sent reminders to all 4 on friday morning and will give them till monday night before opening NPB claims.
    the average price of each item of the 4 NPB ers is 85 to 90 dollars, the cheapest item 40 the most expensive one 150.

    I think a lot of people are getting their xmas credit card bills, about now and with the economy cash is short for quite a few.

    I agree with you it is crazy to have to open up 14 NPB ers at one time. I know it is hurting me right now because, I was counting on some of this money to help me with my property taxes which are due in Feb/Mar.

    I love when people make BO's and then when you drop the BIN to their offer (so they HAVE to pay right away), they don't buy it...

    Odd, stuff has never sold better on my store than it has the last 2 weeks. I can't keep stuff on there.

    Yep. I had a bunch of leftover postage from Christmas so on items that were under $20 I just shipped & took my chances. I did not bother going to post office for manual DC labels. In the end I am going to refund about $20 total of $340 in sales for lost mail. My next batch of cards ending in the next 3 days will all have DC.

    They give you a best offer beat you down on price and then when you agree they don't have the cash anyway.
    Makes me want to send them a virus so their computer explodes.

    another one I don't like is? I won your item (this is 5 to 7 days after the auction has ended) so I will send personal check ok?
    I reply sorry postal money order,cash or paypal only.
    they reply in that case I don't want the item.

    1 more, they wait 7 days pay by e-check and then 2 days later ask where is my item? doh your lousy echeck takes 5 to 7 days to clear before I am allowed to ship to you.

    Here is a website that you hope none of your buyers have visited how to get it Free
  • I love how that link about how to get ebay stuff for free starts out with "This is a borderline scam"
    No, it's a 100% scam to claim something happened that didn't happen. A lot of theives try to justify their actions. This one says it's pretty much ok to go after companies if you don't target individuals.
    for those who don't click it, it says buy something like an LCD tv, and when it comes, photoshop some pics and claim it as damaged.


    Sad.

    I love it when someone offers you a lower price (which you agree to) for an auction that is only a BiN, so you revise to add a BO which they use--to send a lower offer than what you agreed to . . .
