    Please PM me with the bidder's eBay handle, so I can block him.

    I once had a bidder tell me the morning after an auction that he was drunk the night before, bid on a bunch of stuff, and could not pay for any of it. I gave him an 'A' for honesty, cancelled the auction, and blocked him.

    I, too, can believe this one. About 25 years ago, my uncle Gus, along with his son, went out one afternoon and drank the rest of the day away. The next morning, they discovered that they had spent some of that day buying a Buick.

    The breathalyzer on my computer malfunctioned - I really shouldn't have been bidding and don't have the money - sorry. image

    no excuse required. We all know that ebay cannot make a buyer pay and that a seller cannot leave negative feedback to a nonpayer.

    Last week someone put in bids right down the line,for all my auctions. One he bid on/won ,didn't even have any picture & little description,(I revised with picture/full description) and he claimed he did not bid on. Told him sent two messages about what he's getting,days before ended..... He paid,left positive feedback and his kids love the two cheap nickel sets.... Happy Ending image
  • dcarrdcarr Posts: 8,525 ✭✭✭✭✭
    That is a good one.

    Just the other day, I had a winning bidder email me 10 minutes after auction close:

    "AM NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT THE 2 COINS THAT I HAVE WON TONIGHT BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT THERE WAS THE SAME BIDDER BELOW EVERY COIN THAT I BID ON & THAT SMELLS FISHY TO ME! I WOULD LIKE TO CANCEL THE SALES AND YOU CAN LET HIM BUY THEM BOTH."

    The underbidder they mentioned had bid on several of my lots, and they won three outright (plus the two more by default).

    I've done drunk EBAY, got some great stuff that way, seems I always go for quality when inebriated image

    At times in the morning I hope to be out-bid, but if not I pay up and get great coins!

    I think this buyer is much better than some buyers that pay and try to file a ebay claim to retutn it with some excuses. I always allow buyer to back out if they did not want the item.

    << <i>I think this buyer is much better than some buyers that pay and try to file a ebay claim to retutn it with some excuses. I always allow buyer to back out if they did not want the item. >>

    I was thinking something along those lines. No drawn out drama and delays, ending in no sale, shipping costs, and ugly feedback.

    That doesn't make it okay, of course. Just a lot less painful than it could have been.

    the reality of ebay seems to be

    no reason needed for returns

    Doesn't eBay ban buyers after three non-payer strikes?
