Buyer owes $50

Ebay user  purchased a pair of RM Williams boots from me today at 2:30 pm 10/02/2024 for an agreed price of $270 down from $300. Member told me his name was dragon or dragun idk how its spelled but he is slavic.

 

I didnt know that ebay wouldnt be able to help me, because unfortunately the payment waz a cash exchange. Now this dragun guy stiffed me $50. He is dodging all my messages and i sent him a screenshot with my payid details for him to rectify the problem. I need my money as that money he hasnt given me means that my kids dont have enough food for the week and my power is getting cut off. 

 

Has anybody had any dealings with him? And if so does anybody know how i can get my money? I have ways to do it myself but would prefer not to do it that way.

 

Thankyou to anybody that can help

If they contacted ebay their account could now be flagged for future sale violations.

I assume you used another account, as the purchase you mention doesn't appear among the items you sold in the last 90 days.


There was a listing ended, as opposed to sold, for same/similar item. Seems seller saved about $30 ebay fees.

So you lied to ebay about ending the listing because it was 'broken or lost'.

 

You've 'stiffed' ebay of around $38 in fees, but that's ok by you?

 

How many other sales did you make on the same day, but ended for the wrong reason?

 

You've now alerted ebay of your actions and they may still bill you for their fees owing.

 

They may also stop you from selling at all.

 

I think it's called Karma.

Feeding you family and paying bills can be done through charitable organisations if you are in desperate need.

 

Local Court Houses have a Salvation Army Officer who dispenses monies collected by way of fines to those who show a need.  They will pay your bill.

LOL - probably not if this person turns up in the labels listed.

So selling outside of Ebay and you hope Ebay help you,  hopefully they ban you from using the system.

 

Your bills and food is your problem not Ebays.

Just click completed only not sold it will show seller ended listings without sales


Doing that, I can still only see the sold listing for the bag. I can't see any other ended items. Maybe ebay removed them and hopefully flagged their account at the same time.

I just checked and the unsold completed listings are gone. There was maybe 5-8 showing unsold.

Yes brickworks, saw that myself.  The RM Williams shoes were among them.  What a charmer

Keyboard warrior.

 

I once had a (5 letters, starts with T ends in L) promise to visit me with some bikie mates. Didn't know my name nor my address, only the city. Crickets.

 

And eBay no longer seem to give out addresses if pickup is selected, so the OP is unlikely to know where the alleged miscreant lives.
