i need quick help

Hi selling a truck on ebay and it will end in 2 hours. My problem is the highest bidder has a very bad record on pick up and this is etc cars. I do not have a good feeling about this, so I rang ebay and they said that I should give the buyer the benifit of the doubt. I have changed the setting for 2 unpaid strikes but that is to late now. Any ideas or am I just jumping the gun, thanks Rose

If your highest bidder fails to pay, you will have the option of offering a second chance to the next highest bidder.  Nothing more you can do at this stage.

I have solved the problem. The further I went back on this persons feedback the worse it got. I rang ebay again and they showed me how to retract a bid and block the buyer.

So a new buyer comes in at the last minute and buys it. Rings me early in the morning says he is waiting outside my house, so I go outside he takes it for a quick test drive and says that it is to small for him and hands me back the key. You just can not win. I have had people that have bothered to come before they bid on it and take it for a drive and then bid on it. Its just not fair for the people who do the right thing.

All you can do is open NPB case in 4 days; in meanwhile contact the underbidder and tell them what happened and ask if they are interested.

You would think that people know what size of truck they are bidding on.  Wonder if it was the same buyer (different ID) that you blocked.  Block this one as well.  maybe contact eBay again and ask if the 2 IDs are connected; it would be against policy for them to bid with other ID.

No harm, no foul. They took it for a test drive and found it wasn't right. Refund of the money (if any was given) and move on. Eventually you'll find the right person who will buy it.
