To expect the person who bid on my item on eBay to actually want to buy it?

GOd that makes me cross !!

I am currently waiting for payment for 12 items from the same woman ! It's been over a week now ! She was very gushy - but no payment ! her feedback shows that she's done it before too !!

Why ?? why bother ???

I hate non payers they are a real pain in the arse!
If they have not offered to pay your fees then go through ebay non paying bidders thing, and leave her negative feedback at the very very last minute. I think you have 90 days to leave feedback if I am going to leave negative I set something to remind me to leave it at the very last minute so there is less chance of getting negative back.
If the item was on auction can you do a second chance offer?

i just cancelled the bid. the item went for as much as she had bid anyway. if she had been the only bidder then i would've made her pay (not sure how though)

i did send her a snippy email though. and reported her to eBay.

hmw, that doesn't work, they can still leave you feedback, I've been caught out like that.

It is infuriating when people do that, I agree. I love it when the dog/baby/cat bids on something by accident.

So have I kelly but only once!!
I do leave negative feedback and risk getting it
UDD glad you sold it
