    Increase in non-paying bidders and nastier attitudes?

    So far, this top rated seller status has "saved" me several hundred. Now it is costing me about $85. But I'll likely be able to resell these items for the same or similar price. So we'll see. But it does add hassle. Returns based on "item not as described" - I've had two or three of those...

    well, I'm waiting to close out these unpaid disputes but now I have a buyer trying to shake me down for 50% refund of two old toy tanks. the treads are dry so the tanks won't "move forward". thing is, I described the treads as dry. but... to keep my top rated seller status and the continued...

    well, i've filed the disputes. we'll see what happens. buyers shouldn't be able to leave a negative at all after a dispute has been opened. not even if they finally pay.

    yup, i'm aware of that but the problem is that some of these folks may not have strikes on their accounts yet. i have it set for anybody who a strike within a certain period of time.

    in the past 15 years, i have dealt with only two nasty sellers. in that same time, i've dealt with literally hundreds of bidders who were out of line. not all won my items neither. many just asking questions, list of demands if they were to buy something, etc. when i come across somebody...

    i ran into one of these buyers. bought something, doesn't pay or resond to emails. then he tells me about how his wife has terminal lupus, his dad just died, he's trying to get a hardship loan from his 401k, nonsense. another forum member encountered this clown to. i'll provide his username...

    if the person pays after the dispute is opened, they can leave feedback. that is the risk you run.

    I haven't had any returns except for one item. this guy thought an item clearly described as iron and photographed had gold plating when it clearly didn't. With eBays 1 day handling, yeah, what ever - I just print the label out within 24 hours. It might take me another day or so to get to the...

    Hey all, just curious. Lately, in every auction cycle I run, I am running into two to three people who are unresponsive non paying bidders who, when confronted with this by opening payment disputes, get really nasty and leave negative comments. I successfully had one comment removed about a...

    Selling two old Barclay toy soldier figures!!

    those are not bringing any kind of real prices for the past number of years. the people who were the real big collectors of them have what they want or are phasing into the latter parts of their lives. even very rare pieces are very flat. your best is to sell them in a larger group and...

    honestly, who's to say. there was so much hype leading up to the ipo - i knew something was really, really wrong. but i knew that before. here is a company with all the potential in the e-world yet with no mobile strategy. they can't clutter their pages with endless advertisements. they...

    That'll teach a kid to talk about his families movements. I never discuss my comings and goings until I'm back.

    Facebook conspiracy therory...

    I believe that something which FB may have realised, but many analysts definitely failed to realise, and many investors just as definitely are wise to, is that the moment FB ceases to be a diversion and becomes an annoyance, people will simply stop logging in. Permanently.
