Suspicious about buyer...

[Frontpaw]

I had some bits and pieces on eBay and one buyer bought 4 items - total cost about £30 in total. This was on the 24th.

When I was having a look at the buyers feedback, I noticed that dotted among the us'here's hank you' and 'good' there are a few under 'positive' with comments like 'No payment, no communication', 'time waster, didn't pay', 'waste of time', 'this e-Bayer needs to learn that paying is NOT optional'! 'no payment, no response', and my favourite 'BAD FEEDBACK!'.

Now I sent an invoice as s/he is abroad and I had to recalculate the postage but have heard nothing. I have since sent another communication saying that we are away and that if I didn't receive payment before the bank holiday, it wouldn't get posted out until after that week. Still nothing.

Shall I wait or cut my losses, whinge to eBay and re-list the items?

open a non paying case for all of the items now, get your fees back when you close the cases in 4 days and then you can relist them. And add her to your blocked bidder list. Oh and don't leave them a neg statement on a positive feedback rating as it can be removed, and you will get your knuckles rapped.

Thanks for that - what a pain in the bum!

One of the options on ebay is to limit bidders to those with xx feedback for example. You can filter out these bums before they even bid on your lovely items and mess you around.

The 'bad' reviews are written in the 'positives', the sneaky whotzits! But IN BIG CALPIALS! I should have read them all rather than just look at the 1OO% positive score!
