No feedback timewasters buying things.....

Been trying to sell my nikon d90 and have had it purchased now twice by buyers with 0 feedback who havent paid...Who are these people?? surely they must have something better to do than waste peoples time??? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions??

Cheers

No. No.

It's a part of selling online. Especially things that really shouldn't be purchased online

Just make sure you open a NPB dispute at least they will be given a strike for your trouble little consolation but its better than nothing.  At least it will  warn others who check first and make sure you block them so they don't do it to you again.

Please read post #4 in this thread, it will give you all the information you need on how to handle the non payment and how to list with less likelihood of it happening again.

Hi, my action is usually as follows -

Ebay send an automatic reminder 2 days after purchase.

An unpaid item case can be opened 4 days after sale date.

I usually send a message at 5 days asking if there is a problem with payment.

If no response, I open an Unpaid Item Case and that can sometimes spur a response or payment.
If not, I close the case as soon as I can, 4 days after it's opened.
Final fees are returned, buyer gets a strike, I add them to my Block Bidders List and re-list the item.

To open a case, select resolve a problem to the right of the item in the small drop down menu.

Happens all the time! Annoying huh!?

If I see anyone bidding on any of my auctions with 0 fb I ask them if they're a serious bidder, if they don't respond I cancel their bid. If there was an option to block all 0 fb buyers I would!!

[maranock]

Yeah, cause you were never a 0 feedback beginner!

How many feedback did you have when you made your 1st eBay purchase?

One thing you can do is set yr preferences to block (0) fb bidders Who are not phone verified. that helps

stopping a new ebay user from using ebay does not help

What r u talking about? I have 3 other ebay ids where I HAVE been a 0 fb buyer, but why is that relevant?

[little*lotus!!]

Putney32..you can't stop a new ebay user from using ebay, but it would be gr8 if you could stop them from bidding on your own items..yeah  B-)
