Nonpaying Bidders - what to do ?

Discussion in 'General Business' started by Scriptona, Mar 1, 2007.

    Hello,

    what to do when i have an auction and get a BIN price (or winning bid) and the buyer never responds after sending several PMs and i get confirmation that he/she read the PMs ?

    Do i have the right to leave negative iTrader point for him/her ?

    I hate kids who get into auctions :mad: shouldn't such kids get banned specially after doing this more than a time ? :confused:

    leave him negative iTrader and reopen your auction or offer it to the second highest bidder. don't sweat too much about it since you didn't lose anything practically.

    how about time wasted ? (usually allowing 48 hours to get payment confirmation) time is money i think ;)

    how about reliability of business in the forum ?

    people who wander in auctions - thinking they can buy a website when they can't buy anything ?

    such people exist - how should we eliminate them ?

    this is the main purpose of this thread

    get them on ebay, then sue them once they do that on ebay. :D you can't sue or do anything with them here.

    Just leave them negative itrader and leave a warning in the itrader. You could also demand that the bidders have at least x amount of itrader or posts to bid in your auctions.

    you cant do much about non paying bidders on ebay except file a dispute and get your listing fee's back. it happens all the time, i've never heard of someone actually getting sued for being a non paying ebay bidder. but who knows :confused:

    You will always A negative itrader in reply of a negative itrader. So, this is not good option.

    Yes, this is the best thing that can be done to avoid such things.
