eBay blues…

Tuesday, December 02, 2003
I think I may be experiencing my very first non-paying bidder soon.

The guy did a "Buy It Now" on the mini-disc player, on Nov. 27. I've not heard hide nor hair from this guy yet, and he only has two days left (as of midnight tonight, it will be 48 hrs) before I bash him as a non-paying bidder.

I even sent a payment reminder. And he had such a good record, too.

It almost makes me wonder if something happened to the guy? Maybe he was in some sort of freak accident or something?

I guess we'll see when two more days pass, whether I hear anything from this bidder or if I end up starting to go through the motions of getting my final value fees refunded.

And I also had a bloke in the UK snap up the Sony Ericsson phone that was up for bid, without e-mailing me first to ask if I'd even consider shipping overseas. I mean, it does say in the shipping area that I would only ship to the U.S. But, I'm not adverse to trying to ship out of the country if someone asks.

Anyway, this guy ALSO has yet to make any attempt to pay, or choose which shipping method of the two I offered he wants so I can send the proper invoice. But this auction only just ended in the wee hours of Dec 1st (almost 48 hrs ago), so I will give this person the benefit of the doubt and hope that I hear back from them soon.

The other two auctions were paid for promptly and the items already shipped out (the two PDAs).

The fifth auction is almost overwith, and a guy in Sweden looks to possibly be the winner. And yes, he did write me and asked if I'd consider shipping to Sweden before he made any bids. So some people have manners. :o)
