Re: [Harp-L] RE; eBay B- Rad Sale?

[Mark <cahebayx@xxxxxxx>]

 Very simple, if you wish not to get screwed, then use buy it now with instant payment
required, it remains on sale until paid for.
all payments on ebay require paypal only, Read TOS
I have automatic claims set, if not using bin, i/e auction and not paid, ebay will automatically 
begin the claim process, sending notice, non-payment strike and reimbursement of all fees to seller 
including auto re-list.


 

Regards
Mark

A more common scenario is that zero feedback or one feedback buyers are





flakes or kids who never pay for the item won - then the seller has no





recourse but to re-list the item. Has happened to me and many others and is





a real drag. By blocking the sales on my listings for used harp mics and





other music gear to only folks with a Paypal account, the problem has all





but stopped. Shill bidding is outlawed and checked by eBay and is less





common than crappy buyers with zero or little feedback that just flat out





stiff you, in my 9 years of selling and buying experience. Who knows why





they bid...? Prank, stupid, high...?
