[candy4me]

Has anyone ever sold an item on ebay, and then never got paid for it?

Please pay if you bid on an item. I'm getting mad cause someone bought something from me and didn't pay for it grrrrrrrrrrrr......I may have to sic my crazy Yorkie on them

But I think Cujo would just lick em to death....traitor.

Yes! I sell on ebay It actually is my Day Job! although I only have one item listed at the present. what you do is go to your auction and on the left upper side you will see a list> print invoice, leave feedback etc at the bottom of the list it should say report item not paid or not received. click on this and have your item number ready and the name of buyer. once you listed this info it will take you to another area( paypal) hopefully you use this as a form of payment protection if not.. then click on your item list again and offer second chance to bidders that placed the highest bid! Or leave negative feedback Or relist item! first let ebay know that payment has not been received so there will not be a charge for the re-list. Basically you cannot force someone to pay you, paypal & ebay will contact the person and give them the speech about a contract and such and if they still dont pay they can be suspended. How long has it been? I think it has to be at least 7 working days w/ no contact from the bidder. Good luck

Get out of town! This is awesome info. It's been only 5 days, but I sent 2 invoices so far with no response. I will take your advice and run with it. Thanks bunches

Grrrrr - still no word from the buyer. And I sent 2 invoices and an email. The buyer just joined June 14th and has no feedback at all. Kinda worried, but keeping your advice in mind.

what is your auction number or sellers name? maybe I can help get her personal information. also here is some information regarding payment from ebay rules...

Unpaid Item Policy




Buyers automatically enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller if they win the online auction or use the Buy It Now feature. eBay's Unpaid Item policy requires buyers to pay the seller for the items that they commit to purchase.

Sellers can file an Unpaid Item dispute with eBay for each of their items that are purchased but not paid for. eBay will issue a strike on the account of the buyer who does not honor their obligation to pay (unless the buyer and seller mutually agree not to complete the transaction).

Note: If a buyer gets too many strikes in too short a time period, their account will be suspended indefinitely. In some cases, limits may be placed on the buyer’s account in advance of suspension.

also the link to file a report. please let me know if the link will not take you there

I hope it was a joke although it will cost this person even if it was.
when did you see this was it a stuffed dog?

Animals and Wildlife Products

eBay generally does not allow the listing of live animals or pets on eBay. In restricted cases, some stuffed birds and the pelts and skins of some animals are permitted.

I sell on ebay all the time. And yes some people suck. I just had someone not pay beacuse they said that the 12 year old that babysit bid on my item and they werent supposed to. Hows that my fault? I told her she had to pay my fees that it cost me. I never heard from her again. Make sure you turn them into ebay and leave the BAD feedback so it will warn others.

This is good. I figured out the name, and sent 6 emails, but to no avail. Oh well, I feel bad I had to leave my first negative feedback for someone " sharvo2005 " I think is the member's name. Your info helped. I'm gonna file a non payment dispute today and just relist the item. Oh well! Thanks for the help tho!

Gotcha. Yeah, that's a lame excuse anyways - and don't you have to know someone's password to bid - humph! Likely story....

we have a business on ebay and it does happen from time to time. We just make sure we block that bidder from EVER being able to bid on our items again and then if the amount is large enough, we file a square trade case against them and a no pay by bidder complaint. If that person gets more than 3 or so, Ebay can suspend them indefinitely. Another thing we do is most of the time only accept instant paypal after the auction ends, that way the losers with no intent to pay will pass us by. It seems to be those paying by money order that we have the most trouble with if at all. Hope you get your money.
