Aaarrrggghhh - What was the point????

[MrsMagooo]

I posted the other day about an item I had on BIN.

On Friday 5th a lady emailed saying she really wanted the item but couldn't pay til Weds & did I mind?

I said no problem so she bought on Fri (5th)

Weds came & went without payment so I emailed to which she replied she had got her dates mixed up & would pay 'for definate' on Saturday (13th)

Sat came & went - no payment.

I've emailed twice since then & had no reply but I can see she's been bidding on other items so I know she's about.

So I have had to open a dispute, I now have to wait 7 days before I can close it & get my fees back & relist the item (which btw was £7.49 including postage so not mega bucks)

I just don't get the point in buying something then not paying - WTF is the point???????

i just got a postal order for an item someone bought end of Nov had opened dispute they hadn't responded then po arrives!
think some just don't have funds for things they buy!!!

[leenasmom]

agree with lily...this credit crunch/xmas they think ebay is a real store that may offer finance!!!

(an ebay seller)

She's been biding on other items so I emailed one of the sellers & they said they recieved immediate payment

[leenasmom]

oh thats weird could it be that she has changed her mind...or its sliped her mind to pay(unlikely as when u use paypal it comes up with all your items that need paying... email her one last time and then open dispute...sellers can no longer leave neg feedback but leave the feed back in CAPITALS as that will warn sellers (always check feedback of buyers as now the percentage will always be 100% if they arent sellers aswell...(inside code on ebay sellers leave neg in CAPS)

[LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster]

ooh Leena didn't know the CAP thing worth noting!

I've already opened a dispute & sent several invoices.

I'm just so cross as I was very accomdating & now feel like a mug
