Un paid item

[memorable_gifts]

I recently sold an item on Ebay. Once again I get the buyer wanting to cancel the order after winning it. This is happening quite regularly. The description was good, photos were clear. Then Ebay tells the buyer not to pay and that I would be refunded....They can't refund me for the time it takes me to package and label the items. I am sick of these buyers not being made accountable for change of mind. When is Ebay going to stop and say, sorry you win you pay.....

Never heard of eBay telling the buyer not to pay either

Is that what you think, or did a non paying buying tell you eBay told them not to pay?

Either way, that is nonsense 

But

eBay is never going to 'make' a buyer pay either

the "bidder" sent me a screenshot of the Ebay conversation..... Namita has said "I suggest you not to pay for the item..."

I have been doing this for 26 years. it looks the like a real Ebay conversation .......I mean, nothing is implausible these days.

Contact eBay, as for a supervisor and show them the screenshot (was it sent to your eBay messages, or just to your email address?) and report the rep

The non payer time waster is clearly happy to make fake bids, so who knows what else they might get up to

The issue I have is I put all relevant information in the description and sate clearly to ask all questions BEFORE bidding. Ebay has made it too easy for bidders to renege on the sale. the bidder says Ebay will refund costs. they won't refund me time and materials used in packaging the items.

The message is in my messages . The rep was privy to my conversation with the bidder.....which was nothing bad...

I wonder whether Namita would appreciate someone suggesting that eBay should not pay her salary… or (perhaps even more aptly) whether eBay would appreciate its payment system receiving and acting on a suggestion that it not pay out managed funds to eBay, sending them instead to potential buyers on the grounds that some of those buyers will spend their windfall by coming back to eBay for a purchase.
