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?

Some people have way too much time on their hands.....

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....

It is completely immaterial what people on here think..all that matters is whether the OP is likely to be suspended or not. I realise that some people, having been banned themselves might have an ulterior motive in seeing others banned as well but personally I believe a warning to someone that they are breaching rules is a good thing. Should those of us who have seen the OPs auctions have just stood by and let them get suspended, would that have been the better thing to do? I'm sure the OP welcomes any pointers as to what is likely to be a problem to browsers on ebay, especially as it would appear that they already have someone out to get them.

Brainwashed or not, the vigilante who has already left them a neg only need report the fee avoidance and the choice auctions and OP might as well wave goodbye to their account as OP is already a failing seller according to ebay 'rules' re stars. .If the vigilante can buy with an intent entirely to cause mischief do you not think he is also capable of reporting all the auctions then?

Just look at feedback left for others tab and all will become clear.

Looks like they picked the OP's most expensive thing to 'buy'.. Hmm

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.

ahh
I was totally not aware of that - i'll sort it out now. thanks for the advice

I'm on OP's side.

He or she came here for advise and instead got pilloried for having the nerve to charge real world P&P.

The improtant thing to remember is that if you think P&P is a bit steep, look else where, don't go crying to ebay.

Quite possibly, but then is £3 P&P really that much of a crime?

If you sell you have to take paypal, and if you take paypal you have to use Special Delivery to get any sort of protection, and then to get more stars from mummy you have to use a new jiffy bag (think how many screamers come here to moan about reused packaging), and then there's the petrol to get to one of the few remaining post offices...........

Does £3 even cover all that?

And perhaps the £6 P&P book was heavy?

Ebay have brainwashed everyone into thinking that any P&P that isn't free is theft.

But we all know who benefits from "free" P&P don't we......?

If the buyer has not paid, issue an unpaid item strike, and it seems that you can get the feedback removed. See http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/feedback/feedback-disputes.html

Wow! I got suspended by ebay about 5 months ago. It was the best thing that happened to me. It actually brought to my attention the amount of money they were getting out of me each year (and we are talking £0000.s). Set up my own websites, found other cheap sites - oh I also opened another ebay account (just in case I wanted to buy something).

I have dealt with ebay for years and years. In the beginning it was money for old rope. Now it is like big brother. It treats you unfairly. It is expensive. You are guilty until proved innocent.

Correct - I have had recently neg feedback removed left by Non Paying Bidders. Even if they respond to the dispute, eBay will remove it if you were not obviously at fault.

Just phone up support and complain. And if they dont remove it, phone up and ask someone else!
