why do people buy things then not pay!?

[kittypants]

i sold a pushchair.very cheap.the ebayer won on 20th i sent invoice,heard nothing,7 days later sent another invoice plus polite reminder saying ive heard nothing now 3 days later opened unpaid dipute thing.thing is shes been buying loads and paying immedietly including dior bracelets,computer stuff,all costing lots of money!and shes always had perfect feedback.why bother if your not going to pay!

Sometimes buyers regret bidding and then don't bother paying, but that is usually if it's for a high amount.
The fact that she's got a good reputation could mean she is ill or something.
This said, you still need to go through the processes within the time limit in order to claim back your fees.
I've had a few situations like this and I usually send a few nice and concerned messages, asking if they have had problems receiving my messages. Sometimes they eventually pay, sometimes they just ignor altogether (sometimes they blame the cat)

it really annoys me when they don't pay straight away or within 24 hours

you know you've bid on something check it if ou've won pay - it's ot hard!!

I have one atm, only for 99p too

its so annoying!

i had someone do a BIn for an item ,then leave it a week to pay. if your doing BIN then pay quickly. I have started adding immediate payment required to my BIn auctions.

sixlostmonkeys dont think shes ill,i checked shes been buying on ebay since!like i said for big amounts too!pushchair won at £23

has she paid yet kitty?

yes yesterday then sent email saying i should have sent friendly reminder first before opening dispute!i did!then said she won it by mistake and didnt want it.but shes having it!how do you accidently press bid button then accidently confirm bid!whoops!

So glad she has paid

Like I said - some people blame their cat - "oh the cat/ the toddler / the parrot pressed the button" But like you say, how does someone press the confirm by mistake?

I'd be tempted to reply to her saying how sorry you are that she didn't receive the polite/friendly reminder you sent her, and how odd ebay can be at times when it shows up in your sent box but doesn't actually arrive at it's destination. Play it daft until she gives you pos feedback

This would annoy me - I'm chuntering away here saying - well if she didn't want it why didn't she send you a message? Did she think you wouldn't notice?

make sure you obtain proof of postage etc, just in case she gets funny.

thankyou,i will!it does make me cros but laugh too-as you said did she think i wouldnt notice!lol

Mine hasn't paid

oh dear why do people bother?!
