PITA blocked bidder KVEkaren, the boyfriend who bought on her behalf and then requested a refund 2 weeks later is Richardacc. The bag was returned with a tracking ref local to her address not his, and has clearly been used.
I wonder if its because as I've typed them autocorrect has put capital letters in, I can still look at their info I regret to say. I'll type them again:Pessie, I just added these user IDs to my blocked list and they came up as "invalid" so maybe ebay has already suspended or de-activated their accounts?
I agree. I've said it many times that I've rarely had issues with newbies and when there have been problem buyers, 99% are experienced ones who know the system and play it to their advantage.I actually sold one of my most expensive items to a zero feedback buyer who became a member just to buy my item. She never left me feedback but she did get into a bidding war with someone so the item sold for more than I'd expected. She wasn't my only zero feedback buyer, fortunately I've only had one person ever who did not pay, all the others have. So really you never know.
I really wish we could BLOCK buyers with 0 feedback. I have dealt with about 10 deadbeat, nonresponse buyers in the past two months alone. What a waste of my time!
I'm having a bidder who's won the auction, didn't pay after 48 hours, and ignored my message. I opened a non-paying case on eBay, then she returned my message and said she's worried the shoes weren't authentic and asked for more photos and therefore more time. I was a little skeptical, since I basically took all my pictures using TPF's authentication thread as a guideline. Considering she has zero feedback, I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she doesn't know eBay etiquette (you know, ask these kinda questions before you place a bid, if that's a thing), and it's kinda frustrating because the shoes are packed and ready to go, but now I'll have to repack again, and god knows how long will it take to resolve. Fingers crossed I'm not getting scammed here : (
