I Just Risked Getting A Red Dot

[i-love-my-sheep]

Mr 101 feedback who loves leaving negatives for everyone hasn't paid, so I just opened up an unpaid case against him. I should have turned on the unpaid assistant I think, because whoever mentioned it the other day was absolutely correct in that he can still leave me feedback until the case is closed, due to me doing it manually. I sent a reminder invoice yesterday and mentioned that if he'd changed his mind, that was fine, just to let me know so I can cancel the transaction. I also said that if he was still watching other items, to take as long as he needs to complete his purchases, but to let me know. Zilch correspondence since the auction finished on the 24th. I was reluctant to open a case due to his reputation, but enoughs enough now. He's had enough time. 

I just hope that if he does neg me, eBay will remove it, the low DSR that will invariably go with it and the defect (I can dream!!!). If I responded to a neg, would that give me less chance of eBay removing it?

That brings me to a question. If I do decide to use the unpaid assistant, if someone sends me a message to say they are still buying, is there some way to set it up so it doesn't automatically open a case on them?

Still so much to learn......I am SOOOOO grateful for this group! I'm so glad I found this group because I have learned so much in the last few weeks.

Thanks for the replies everyone! By the sounds of it, I'm probably best to leave the unpaid assistant alone for now. I don't have that many non payers. As for Mr 101 feedback, who knows what venom he might write after a red dot. He's not backward in coming forward with his negs.

I had my best day ever in sales today and everyone except one person paid within the hour! The other one hasn't paid because I told her not to as she still has active bids on several other items. I thought for sure I'd get at least one non payer, but nope! I still have quite a few to end before midnight, so might get a few last minute buyers, like what has been happening most of the day.

You are putting far too much emotional effort into this one sale Chooks.  Just treat it like any other and deal with it through the proper ebay channels.

I think I need stronger glasses.  Had to put my magnifying glass up to the screen to make it out.  

I suppose you have a perfectly 'rational' reason for becoming Dickie Knee?

Love all the comments from everyone....!!!  Great to have some humour amid all the problems on these boards.

May I take this opportunity to recommend an extremely useful Firefox add-on called Thumbnail Zoom Plus? When installed, if you mouse-over an image or even just the filename of a jpg or other image file, it will give you a pop-up zoom of that image in a configurable size of the original. Of the very few add-ons that I've installed, this is one of the most useful by far.

He makes me smile.(and laugh)

I think people forget to do that sometimes.

Did you watch the link to Toon clips back there?
