why is buyer aloud to leave negative when he made the mistake

[aussiebarb1964]

Why is a buyer aloud to leave negative feedback when they are the one who stuffed up . Buyer bid and won an item that clearly stated local pickup only and I am in NSW and he is in Darwin , then when I sent him a message saying I hope you have someone to pick this up , he sent a message back and said he will be in NSW on a certain day and he would ring . Of course this was **bleep** . Then I contacted him and said , if no contact is made buy a certain day I am offering it as a second chance offer , Then without contacting me the mongrel left negative feedback . Saying wrong information ! How ? And what can I do , its sales like this that makes me not want to use ebay anymore .

, it would have been reasonable to ask him to pay via paypal

Why would a seller want to be paid by a method that carried absolutely no seller protection against a bank chargeback?

Seller was at fault for trying to re sell the item before concluding the transaction by either going through the unpaid item process or sending a mutual cancellation request.

Not really phorum junkie what if the seller has more than one of the said items.

Oh come on are you serious, one thing that is not in short supply through out the entire world is sellers, now buyers that's an entirely different case. Getting someone to buy your goods and part with there hard earned cash isn't so easy hence BUYERS are the rare species and valuable species anywhere. Which is why your comment is rubbish.

The seller has not returned to let us know if the item has been paid for.

The reason I mentioned that is because at times if I have purchased a pick up item and required sopmeone else to collect it on my behalf, I have payed for it instantly by PayPal (after checking with the seller that someone else could pick it up on my behalf prior to purchase of course)

Some people just don't think, ya know? In their mind, the world revolves around them, and they don't think that maybe the seller was selling to raise some money for themselves/clear out some unwanted items - whatever - they just kinda think in their minds they want the item, and have every iontention of paying for it "eventually", and that's when thery stop thinking and sometimes they forget to start again.

how many people have more than one USED twin pram, identical in description/condition etc?

I think that may have been a bit of a long shot, eh?

I agree with you junkie but you still don't no and to assume they don't is still dangerous as you just don't no.
