I only got reimbursed 1/4 of my money because seller did not have enough in the account to cover the item that she never send to me (it was proved).
Now I don't know what to do.
Is ebay gonna give me a strike if I say no I don't want to sale?
the buyer has already paid and is not a non-paying buyer. I am sorry, I think this thread does not belong here. I should have asked this question in another thread. Sorry again.

Made a "best offer" on a Coach item. Within 2 hours, retracted the best offer giving the reason as "entered the wrong amount."

24 hours later, made another best offer for a bit less than the previous offer. Again, within a couple of hours, retracted.

Chances are that if I'd accepted immediately, I'd have had a NPB to deal with.

Default softsell239, AKA coachchick64
HERE'S ANOTHER ONE FOR EVERYONE'S BLOCKED BIDDER LIST

The buyer "softsell239" falsely accused her seller of selling a fake Coach Sig Demi bag with no proof and no third-party authentication and has been sending the seller harrassing emails as well as leaving Neg & then Neutral FB. Then she had the nerve to come whinging to the Ebay Shoes & Purses forum. The buyer has since made her Feedback Private.

Here's the link, please read soon before it disappears:
http://forums.ebay.com/db2/topic/Sho...122323&start=0

This is the original whine from softsell239, AKA coachchick64:
"I am new to Ebay and won an auction for a Coach purse. When I received the purse, I thought it was faeke. I gaveeback stating so
to the seller. I did not know what feedback really was and because of my lack of knowledge (I thought it was to the seller only) the feedback was aof course posted in both of our feedback. The seller went ballistic. I told the seller that I would check to aythenticate the purse and would ryto straighetn matter out with Ebay. I took tehpurse to a department store and then to the Coach store andthey verified that it was a Coach but a Factory store Coach. The zipper seemed to be a little sticky, the purse was dingy and had spots, there was a space between the words genuine and leather on the creed. There was an X embossed on the creed, the stitching on the zipper pull was not straight and overlapped and there was no metal ring in the coach tag. All of these things made me think it was fake becuase I have higher quality coach bags and I have seen fakes. So, I thought it ws fake. After doing my research and e-mailing Ebay, I had an opportunity torevise my feedbak and they deleted the original feedback. However, when Is hared this inofrmation with the seller they came saying no matter what kind of coach it was, it was still authentic and bragged that the purse was 7years old. They had been sendig harassing ad angry e-mailos, so I gave a neutral rating and 1 star for communication. The coach store said the serial number was authentic and that the older purses do not have the metal ring, They didn't say it was that old!! Also, tht thestiching was a cream color and not white(fake). They said purses with flaws, like the ones I had would go to the Factory Store. The no is No.F050-6094. The purse is a demi bag as the last 4 digits state. However, I saw your information and wanted toknow about the first set of information. The seller is now using their listing description to trash me, so I blocked them from e-mailing me and made my feedback private, along with threatening new buyers that if they have low feedback ratings or have given negative feedback in the past 6 months that they will be canceled. I told the seller that I and Ebay that I would try and make it right, but then the seller taunted me and kept harassing me. So they got a neutral. I have learned a valuable lesson and have since education myself about Ebay as much as possible. However, I still would like to know about these numbers. Also, Can you send me the link to post pictures?"


The purse and Mini Skinny have been verified as genuine, and after 23 posts we got the seller's side of the story:

from jacqui75_cats
"Hi there. It was pointed out to me by another Ebay (thank you!) that I was being discussed on here and so I'd like to defend myself being so I'm being talked about.
As you can see by my feedback that I do not sell fakes. This OP has made my life a nightmare for no reason. First, she left me negative FB without contacting me first. Then 3 hours later, a very rude and nasty email came to me accusing me. I immediately looked up a Coach store near her house and told her I wanted it in writing that it was fake from the manager and defended myself in the email as my right is. I never contacted her again. She kept emailing me numerous times. I contacted her 3 days later to see if she went by the Coach store. She then emailed me with buyers remorse, that she was sorry about the feedback, blah, blah, blah. But THEN turned around and said that response to my feedback saying I was stalking her and sending her emails. I immediately contacted Ebay and reported her and blocked her. She finally went to the Coach store a week later and after she even tried listing the purse and wallet herself!! She sent me emails saying it was Coach Factory and she revised her feedback. I couldn't believe the feedback she left me AGAIN!! (my typo on the 7 years old, should have said 4) I responded to that feedback and you can see the results.
Then came the nasty threatening emails. I will not go into them here but I have reported her to Ebay and forwarded emails. She then has the nerve to change her userid and put her feedback private!!

Again, my items are real and I wouldn't waste my time nor support that industry that sells them.

Thank you all for defending me. It means alot and hopefully there's a good outcome to all of this on my side.."


Here's the seller's FB page:

Strongly consider giving softsell239 a place on your BBL.

And the original discussion at the Ebay Purses forum just keeps rollin' along... as well as this one where the Accusing Buyer tries a little dirt-slinging in another post where someone asked about one of the seller's bags:

She bought a Coach bag on July 27, paid immediately and within 9 days filed for INR. (The bag was coming 3000 miles from AZ to RI.) She claimed it had been 15 days, but the ebay transaction indicated otherwise.

Buyer posted on T&S and because of the seller's low starting price, immediately labeled the seller a scammer, questioned authenticity and got the buyer all riled up.

T&S referred buyer to Shoes, Purses and Fashion Accessories board where she got advice. However the more she posted, the more the tables were turning in favor of the seller.

Here are the 2 threads, First on the T&S board: http://forums.ebay.com/db2/topic/Tru...141280&start=0

Then on the purse board: http://forums.ebay.com/db2/topic/Sho...123225&start=0

^^ for some reason when you try to copy and paste the user ID with the capital "D" it won't let you at it to your BBL. When you change it to a lowercase "d" it will let you. HTH

Default JOJA215 - BBL candidate
This thread should really be renamed "Non-Paying AND Blocked Bidders".

Here's another lulu - as always, read the thread at Ebay's CAB board before it disappears:
http://forums.ebay.com/db2/topic/Buy...142213&start=0

Of course, after being "outed" the buyer/Original Poster immediately made her Feedback Private. Post # 11 had an interesting comment about that:
"She turned her feedback private because I called her out for having left 7 negs and 7 neutrals since Dec.Plus 39 bid retactions."

WHERE are these @$$&?!#s coming from ???

Here's the FB from just one of the poor seller's who got stuck with this @$$&%#?- FOUR Neutrals and one Neg for the same seller:

Taking away the ability for a seller to leave Negative FB for a buyer has to be one of the absolute WORST things Ebay's ever done.

Default Taniboop - BBL - SNAD threats & partial refunds
This seller's name has come to my attention before for authenticity issues, but add it to your list of Blocked Bidders. If you have a Seller Shyte-list like I do, you may want to add it there too.

It seems that she's another one using "SNAD extortion" to get partial refunds on Coaches she's bought and then flips them for a profit without any mention of the "problems" she threatens to file a SNAD claim over. Again, read fast before the posts disappear:
http://forums.ebay.com/db2/topic/Sho...r-To/520143444

This is becoming an epidemic.

BTW, the Feedback RECEIVED by the seller is bad enough:
http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?Use...ed+by&ref=home

but the Feedback left by her as a buyer is even worse - check out all the Negs and "not as described" she left for sellers - guess she found a few sellers who didn't fall for the old extortion game:
http://toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/negs?Use...p&Dirn=Left+by

Here's a July 1st response that a seller left for her "NOT as Described!" Negative:
" Reply by heidilicious07 (Jul-02-09 08:39):
EXACTLY as Described!! Buyer wanted for FREE!! I offered FULL REFUND if RETURNED

-- (#250444174258)
"

Quite a piece of work.
