    I rather suspect the buyer knows you as they have no other history..have you upset anyone or do you know anyone that would track you down via your id to do you a mischief? Unfortunately by posting the buyers ID you have of course posted your own which could lead to more problems.

    Also, you seriously need to sort out your p and p costs and your despatch times, your stars show you as a failing seller and you are borderline for suspension, there is a very good chance you won't lats out the year with 2 lots of stars below 4.4.

    Selles standard rate for a DVD @£2.99..you'll be lucky to get more than 4 stars for anyone for that sort of pricing. A standard DVD 1st class will be 78p and I think allowing £2 for an envelope and packing a bit OTT. You've even got some single DVds at £4.99 p and p

    Hmm, I am being to wonder if you have picked up a vigilante buyer, possibly a rival using a throwaway account who has an issue with your pricing. It might be worth going for a claim for malicious bidding and trying to get the negative removed that way. However with your ID now posted here and with some people not liking OTT p and p charges+ the curse of MSE I think you'll be lucky to retain your account.

    If you do manage to hang on to your account remember that DVDs must have free postage from end of january, so make sure you get your remaining ones listed before then.

    I've reported them for you sooling, £6 p&p for a book is outrageous. God knows how much p&p she charged the buyer for the cat stinking clothes.

    Yep. It's someone !!!!!! off and getting their own back.

    A new ebayer wouldn't be able to manipulate the NPB process.

    am in the same situation buyer has been using 2 names was not happy with item he bought under one name so is now using another name to BIN on my items and leaving me neg feedback after not paying. i have replied to his feedback but think its highly unfair that he can do this and get away with it. feels like ebay is all for the buyers and nothing for the sellers?? i have opend a NPB and buyer is making out i am to blame lol!!! he has also bought things from himself leaving good feedback!

    good luck i hope you have more success than me!

    The book seller was OP, who got negged by an non paying buyer, and who made the mistake of asking advise here, only to have people go screaming to ebay because they think the postage on something they have no interest in buying is a bit expensive.

    Lesson learnt, eh, OP?

    The beanie babies auctions.

    Ebay law says you're not allowed to list a load of things and then let the buyer pick which one they want.

    The idea is that you list them all individually (ebay want more money).

    Anything that deprives ebay of money is an easy way to lose your account.

    Best remove the auctions before one of the clowns here reports you.

    How do you know what the OP is listing?
    I did an advanced search on the ID they provided, and it came up they had not bid on anything :confused:

    If you do a search on the non payer who left the feedback, you can look at feedback left for others and get to OP that way.

    People here seem to think that charging real world P&P is a sin greater than being left feedback from a non payer.

    Ebay's brainwashing in action....
