Classic eBay story!

Re: Classic eBay story!

someone should send this guy a link to this thread. if this guy gets blocked from enough auctions maybe he will become a more reasonable buyer to deal with.

Brian,
God bless your mortal soul for thinking there is a logical or decent bone in this guy's body, but judging from the exchange with the other guy in this thread where he was going to sue for $250 per day on a $10 bat, I say good luck with talking sense into this guy. How many times can he call different people the worst seller on eBay before it loses all meaning?

Sorry, meant Bill, not Brian...not sure where that came from.

You have a good point. On the other hand if his buying habits are restrained by the knowledgeable dealers I would think he would play a different game. Of course ebay could change their rules back to having sellers leave negative feedback (among other changes) and alot of this nonsense would go away. This buyer is clearly trying to bully sellers into playing his game. Part of the product that ebay has created. It is a shame, alot of quality sellers are bailing on eBay (at least from my side of the spectrum). I have stopped selling on ebay myself due to the various changes of their policies.

The scariest and saddest part to me is that it seems he is bullying successfully the vast majority of the time. I can't say I blame anybody who uses eBay as a last resort now.

Re: Classic eBay story!

Glad this thread was started. This guy bid on one of my bats today, and I had to go and cancel it and block him. Thanks guys!

Re: Classic eBay story!

Ok, so right after I did the block and cancel, the bat had another bid on it for essentially the same amount. Got me wondering, so I check this guys feedback, and he leaves similar feedback as the other guy. Check this guys out and let me know what you guys think.

Re: Classic eBay story!

Seems like the same guy. I would cancel those bids.

Looking back, I sold that second guy a couple of bats a couple of months back and had no issues. But it was the same type of deal where he was buying stuff like CRAZY at the time. Seemed like he bought half the bats on eBay for a while. VERY weird stuff.

Re: Classic eBay story!

Just to update the most recent events, I received emails from the guy stating he would be leaving negative feedback tomorrow. This was on Sunday. To date, no negative feedback, but what shows up in my paypal account today? 2 payments. One for just a bat and one for the other bat plus $10 shipping! I refunded the payments already and explained the bats are no longer available for sale. I expect negative feedback is headed my way soon. Oh well. I'm sure laying down for the guy would be a lot simpler than actually taking a stand, but I will rest better knowing that I would not succumb to the hostile business practices it seems this guy indulges in.

Re: Classic eBay story!

I love how he charges $15 for shipping though...wonder if thats negotiable

Re: Classic eBay story!

I didn't know he was selling anything, but if he is, good luck to all!

As an update, still no negative feedback and haven't heard anything from the guy. I did inform eBay of the situation, and what this situation is, in eBay's eyes, is feedback extortion. If someone wins your auction and then wants something more from you than what they won and they threaten negative feedback, save all of the emails and send them to eBay. What this guy did is against eBay's rules, and I was assured by eBay that if negative feedback was left by this guy, it would be removed. I forwarded all of the emails and the threats of negative feedback from the winning bidder, so hopefully this thing is over with. We'll see.

Re: Classic eBay story!

Well, I got the negative feedback today. Let's see if eBay will remove it.

Re: Classic eBay story!

Maybe a response to his negative feedback should point to this thread. He seems to like to respond to comments and should be interesting when he sees that a thread about him is posted on eBay.

Re: Classic eBay story!

Nah, I won't bother. The feedback will be taken down anyway, according to eBay. Plus, I want it to be a suprise if they suspend him.

Re: Classic eBay story!

I had to block him and one of his other aliases on a current auction...

As soon as I blocked one I got a bid from his other.
