you would seriously be better off learning what you have to on your own.

I got my first PITA buyer today
 

All my high priced auctions require that payment is required within 24 to 48hrs...just because you cant go into any electronic store and they hold the item for a week until you can pay while other people maybe interested. If its an item thats not in demand then ill be a little more lenient.

This person bought the item and said they are waiting on a cheque to come in the second week in June and they didnt want to "let a good auction go by". What pissed me off was he didnt ask, he told me to wait because he will leave negative feedback if i dont comply anyway. Ok...ok, so I dont have control over my auction anymore? I see. So i noticed he was selling items too. Bad idea for a seller to screw a seller.

I got this idea from a fellow poster on this forum. Me and a friend of mine went on a bidding frenzy on one of his auctions just to hike his ebay fees. I won the auction checked out with a money order and left negative feedback. Dropped it real nice too, he already had one already with just 10 feedback. Usually i dont condone this kind of behavior but seriously, buyers like that need to be taught a lesson i could have done more damage anyways.

How I negged a fraudulent buyer today..
 

Here's how I negged a fraudulent buyer today:

1. He bought the item from me 4 weeks ago.

2. 1 week ago he emailed me that he never received it. I found that very strange since my deliveries to the US always go through. I didn't send with tracking so I couldn't be sure.

3. Yesterday I refunded his money and apologized. He gave me neutral feedback which obviously equals to a -1 for sellers these days.

4. Today I noticed he's a seller too and checked his listing ...and sure enough, there was the item that I sold him - for twice the price he bought it for. Not only that, but he also stole the exact same pictures I had in my listing.

5. Since he had BuyItNow without the need to pay immediately, I grabbed one of my buyer accounts, bought it and gave him a negative feedback. I didn't let him know in any way that it was me who sold him the item in the first place, but I gave him a nasty negative anyways.

:D

I posted this in the feedback section under fight fire with fire about a week ago. I am not one to neg anyone but the time has come. I have created an account just to leave negs now. I am sick of this myself, like you, I had a buyer think the item should have been there yesterday even though they paid 25 days after the auction.

Div - Sorry to hear what happened, nor do I blame you. Buyers can be so mean and downright nasty at times because they know eBay protects them 110%.

Don't forget to block that jerk.

I also think we should have a private list somewhere on this baord with all the PITA Buyers so we can block them all.

Sorry to hear what happened to you both.
When this happens to me and I if have the opportunity, I'm going for it.

Many sellers are posting blogs about NPB's along with their ID's on eBay.

One thing to be careful of .. Don't neg to quickly or it will be obvious and possibly removed.

Zymo - I thought Buyer negs were only removed if the Seller could prove the Buyer was blatantly extorting the Seller.

In this case all IMJ did was buy the item then gave them a neg.

I see you are from N Cal. so am I, I'm so glad those fires in Santa Cruz were finally put out.....whew.

Lisa B -- Are you as cute, sweet, and sexy (and single) as that pic shows ...

Maybe it's time for a little romance .. It's been a loooooong time for me so I know I am.

PM Me ... :):) :D:D

Yep, I know I look hot and sexy.

lol nice. i did the exact same thing to a buyer. Payback

It's really agrivating when they try and take control over you buy saying "I will leave you negative feedback".

imjustme please keep us updated if the neg gets removed, if he figured out it's you, etc.

imjustme, if he resells it buy it again and have him ship to you to Japan and then claim it didn't come. If he ships overseas from the USA it needs global express guaranteed to view tracking online or paypal won't like it. Also pay credit card and do chargeback if you don't get it back for free.

This is a great loophole for us sellers to use to our advantage.

Well done IJM, i never use to like leaving negs also, but this time ebay has gone to far.

Neg hasn't been removed yet but he sent me a message over eBay saying "WHYYYYYYY?????" :D

reply saying YOUR MUM!!!!

i will be doing the same thing to this seller who bought something from me, then refused to pay. i filed a non-paying bidder claim against him, then the profanity started. i didn't want to deal with this guy anymore so i closed the claim. then the very first day of the new feedback policy he gives me a negative.

this guys gonna be in for a big surprise when i give hime at least a few negs from a few different buyer accounts. i am going to wait a few months do. it's best served cold....

imjustme - you make me proud
=D

hehe, I don't know why but that response is very funny to me.

I've been doing that to powerseller just to make the T&S monkey do some work. They would remove them in a day or so, so permanent harm came to the seller.

However, it now looks like ebay is trying to protect them, because I read somewhere that you can not leave negative for powerseller for 5 days.

I am currently preoccupied with taking care of a terminally ill family member, but once I have some free time, I will find new and better ways of f'ing with ebay and paypal.

lol
goodluck hope you come up with something that will help us all out.

Many many years ago I found someone doing that. He used my pictures and my description word for word. I asked him not to do that because he's basically posing as me, next thing I know I've been suspended from Ebay. I guess he reported the email as harrassment.
