Now this makes me mad. If I had one of my souped-up, tricked-out, nitro-lights-a-blazin', mega whack-packed Cobra 21's on ebay sell for $8,100 then I would expect the sucker.....I mean, valued customer, to pay the frig up.

So now, all they face is a mere Unpaid Item Strike against them, of which they get 3, before the terribly nice computers at eBay will do anything else to them and only if each inconvenienced seller reports them.

What's an honest eBay Seller with a obviously highly valuable frozen chicken nugget to do I mean seriously dude?


I truly appreciate all of eBay's Buyer Protections and all. I buy as well as sell on that God-forsaken wasteland of a computer generated gin joint and buyer's do need full and I mean full protection against all those would-be ripoff scammers out there. But all these protections do seem to be about 95% slanted towards the buyers and it's time for yet another in the unending series of eBay policy revisions.

I am telling you this, boring you silly and sounding like a big crybaby {Cry_river} because trying to tell any of this to someone on the phone at eBay is just an invitation to get hung up on or at best, abstractly ignored.

So here goes anywho if you haven't already jammed down on the back button.

I think they need to re-allow sellers to give a negative feedback, or at least a neutral feedback, to a non-paying buyer. And I think the Unpaid Item Strikes need to be reduced to two before your account is suspended for a good long period of time.


Maybe I can get Mr. Slobbo to file a class action lawsuit for us :whistle:

this is just like the homer simpson looking glue drop that sold for near a 1/4 million.that guy never got paid either .

ebay should make these suckers pay up .its supposed to be a binding contract .or maybe the sellers should take the buyers to court for emotional distress.

either way dont bid on something if you have no intention of paying .
now the seller will have x amount of dollars bound up in limbo (sellers end of auction fee would be quite large at that amount)
until you wait out the ebay system of filing for unpaid bidders refund .

been there ,done that and it sucks .

Emotional distress hell, it's a legally binding contract ........ print it out and file a claim in civil court.
