FS world record cube (7,08) and 11.11 avg ebay

[ajmorgan25]

I don't think I am allowed to give any details about the seller or the selling itself so I wont.

We're not asking for a real name or address. We're just asking if the user had paid or not, or if they've even responded to you and said that they refuse to pay. I don't believe there's any Ebay regulations against that.

but for us, he/she is anonymous.

You can look at Erik's feedback (
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...iid=120407734384&sspagename=VIP:feedback:2:us) and see what users left him feedback.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it isn't. Giving away his personal information is wrong but I don't think saying he has or hasn't paid is unreasonable.

"i think that is a copy of the rubik wolrd record. but i don't now"

Really? Wow. Then why would you bid $2,025 for it? Grade-A moron. Erik doesn't deserve "neutral" feedback from someone who bid way too much for something that they really didn't even want in the first place.

Of course I don't know the whole situation though. Is someone allowed to leave feedback for a seller if they've never paid?

 

[Erik]

I left him a nice piece of feedback too, people who not pay, I will try to take legal measures. He has until today to pay, tomorrow I'll contact ebay.
so..
@ Ellis: yes

Actually you only replied to his feedback on your feedback page. His own feedback page is clean.

 

[Mr Cubism]

My experience of Ebay users with low or zero in feedback is not good. They are not trustable.

Maybe there is a way to block these users to bid before the auction starts?!

 

[byu]

That would be nice. 0 feedback people can't be trusted

But then they'll never get higher feedback if they're not allowed...

Yes.

As a seller, you can also contact people to make sure they're on the up and up before the auction is over. But you can do individual blacklists, so if a 0 feedback user bids, doesn't reply, you can cancel their bid and block them.

Yes I will do this only after the paying term is over, which will be.. tomorrow.

Erik,

It's sad that there's no recourse to people like this on eBay. I don't think it'd be worth your while to try to take any sort of legal action against him, it's a throw away account and it'll probably end up being some minor that you can't prosecute any way.

I'm pretty sure your recourse will be to relist. I've seen auctions that require pre-qualification of the bidders, but I've never sold anything on there, so I couldn't tell you anything about it.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that this works out, but I think I'm safe in saying I hope you have better luck next time around.

Sincerely,
e.

E-bay sent the cube before the transaction was completed? It shouldn't work that way. Erik, track that person down and I will go all stewie* on him until he forks over the money.

It doesn't

Ebay doesn't send anything ever. Plus Erik never said he sent anything either.

I'm kind of confused. Erik, did you ever receive payment (I'm guessing not)? Did you ever ship out the cube?

No and no... now I'm confused... did Erik say somewhere that he sent the cube? I don't see why he would send it without receiving payment first. There's no reason to.

No, you're right, I read through all the posts again and it makes more sense. Erik never shipped the cube and he never received payment. Hopefully that cleared up the confusion.
