eBay bidder you might want to block.

RussRuss Posts: 48,514 ✭✭✭
I don't know what kind of game this guy is playing, but you might want to consider adding him to your blocked bidder list. His eBay ID is one-shot.

He has been placing bids on most of my current auctions over the last few days up to early this morning. Jacked the prices way up. Then today, which is a day before the listings are going to end, he eMails me and claims that it was his son doing the bidding, not him. He wants me to cancel his bids, refusing to do retractions because he doesn't want them on his record. He already has a dozen of them, so this isn't his first rodeo. So, I went through and cancelled the couple dozen on which he was high bidder. And, of course, he now resides on my BBL.

Russ, NCNE

    He was likely drunk and when he woke up, realized he screwed up....Cheers, RickO

    Dear Uncontrolable Bidder,

    As soon as you confirm in writing that you have changed your Ebay login password to prevent unauthorized people from bidding on items, I would be happy to cancel 50% of your "mistaken" bids.

    Sure glad I found that quick link under the Selling Manager tab to make it easier to add these flakes to the list.

    Yep, that's the big concern with what this guy did. It looks terrible to have that many bid cancellations show up the day before closing.

    I am guessing that his ebay handle sums up the chances he has to win an auction with the persons on this board? image

    The only good news, if you could consider it good--is that the potential snipers now know the leading bidders current proxy amount. Snipers now know the target they have to hit.

    You're a better man than I Russ. I would have made ONE-SHOT with 1601 feedbacks pay a price for making your life difficult. He basically got off scot free.

    Have a nice day

    He may be a better man than you, but guess what? He also has speed of light delivery, too. image Okay, </russ plug>

    Thanks and blocked, Russ.

    Dear Uncontrollable Bidder,

    It was my dad doing the selling, I'm just his kid that logged in and saw your message so I can't help you.

    Garcias for the heads-up on one-shot sure-thing and done-deal. Easily blocked in a sober state.

    BLOCKED.....Likely scared away some interested bidders. Always get alot more attention/interest if bidding is low until the last day. Maybe an ebay rep. should be made aware of his message or maybe best to forget about it.
  • RaufusRaufus Posts: 7,239 ✭✭✭✭✭
    BLOCKED! Thanks very much for the info!!

    He should be kicked off of ebay. What a jerk.
