    Hi,

    I have won 2 items recently but have decided I don't want the items any more. I'm prepared for the 2 unpaid item strikes, but wondered how many a bidder needs to clock up before their account is suspended etc? eBay help pages don't make this clear.

    Thanks

    Perhaps you don't understand the point of ebay; you bid on something because you WANT TO BUY IT, not just because it's pretty!!

    You win, you buy! Simples!

    So, perhaps you should do the honorable thing and pay, then if you don't want them, re-sell them?
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Whatever, you're a bunch of jobsworths. I actually have been a seller on eBay for over 4 years with 400+ positive feedbacks. I just don't want 2 items I bid on a few weeks ago. Big deal.

    Sigh - thankfully you wont be buying my stuff either. Im trying not to swear, but what a completely ridiculous ebayer and an equally stupid question. Do you not realise that listing an item for sale costs a seller money, and when you win an item, it also costs a seller money in final fees. If you dont pay, we dont get all of our fees back and we can never reclaim the time spent listing the item. Please - have a little respect...dont waste our time or our money. Dear oh dear (shakes head and rolls eyes).
    Feel free to thank me, it makes my toes tingle and my ears go warm :T

    OK so switch how would you feel being the seller in this case? Just pay and resell.

    Yep my preferences are set to exclude anyone with 2 unpaid strikes.

    Soolin has this been included in the guide for selling on ebay? Seems it should be.

    Oh yes, I think it is important.

    I know two wrongs dont make a right but I hope someone goes and bids on two items then they change there mind. Maybe it will stop you bidding then changing your mind. I bought a cardigan last week off ebay 12 pounds BNWT. I dont like it but I am going stick it back on ebay and sell it.
