####### ebaY Deadbeats!!!

Gees it seems like I get one jerk in every ten ebAy sales, one everytime
bids high on a coin and then seemingly falls off the end of the earth.
Meanwhile they keep bidding on other items. Now I go through the whole
fargin process of NPB warnings, 2nd chance offer to underbidder, Final
Auction Fee Refund.

I do not sell much, I specify in my auctions payment must be received in 7
days or arrangements made etc. One of my bidders was on vacation, said he
was bidding from a summer lodge in VT, but he let me know when payment would
come and it did.

So why do jerks bid on stuff, usually low value and then ditch the auction?
It was for an XF-AU Denmark 5 Ore coin from 1899, final bid was still less
than catalog for the piece.

Maybe that's all they were willing to spend. Why are U upset about that - tell
me your ebay ID please so I won't bid on any of your coins to get you upset.

Huh? John, I just gotta know how you misread Dave's post. I can't
conceive what you thought he said. Bill

You must not have understood him. I'd be ****ed too if I had deadbeat
bidders (bidders who don't pay) and noticed that they were still active
on ebay. Wouldn't you????

==============================
just adding a classic. buyer won't pay according to auction terms, then
promptly lists item on ebay, then bids on same items i'm bidding on. lets just
say he got clocked real good.

(another mark i guess?)

It's frustrating. I had one person who
paid right away the first time he was
successful in one of my auctions and
then stiffed me three times after that all
the while he was still bidding and paying
on other auctions (according to his
feedback). Some people are apparently disorganized, confused, stupid,
don't have enough money but keep bidding anyway or maybe just like playing
games in bidding with no intention of
honoring their bids. Who knows?
