    Anyway back to OP. If you have a good reason for not wanting to buy item ie. you hadn't read the details properly, or its not what you thought you were bidding on, as a seller I would be understanding (but a little miffed). If its just because you changed your mind I wouldn't be too happy at all about non payment. The worse thing is a buyer not communicating.
  • Have you checked to see if they have a "returns policy"? why not wait until it arrives and find some reason for returning it and get your money back. We've had to do it a few times due to the item not living up to the description, in fact a couple times they've just told us to keep it & still refunded the money....

(get yourself round the back of the GIG on saturday and see what you can find -does it still exist?)

    Yep, you see, this is what I was talking about the other day, people are taking advantage of sellers not being able to leave neg feedback and people like this ^ are on the good side of the line, there are many out there that deliberately go out to get free or very cheap stuff.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    I agree. I never had a NPBidder until the feeback rules changed. Now I get at least one per batch (roughly 1 in 20 items). I don't mind so much if the buyer contacts me with a good explanation, I'm very reasonable. But I have people just go very quite, no communication and ignore reminders. Which means I haven no idea whether to relist the item or offer it to another bidder. Very frustrating.
  • As a seller, I have to say this is really annoying - it has just happened to me and I can try & second chance the item to someone, but its all a delay & hassle and I will lose out regarding fees on the initial "sale".

    Not sure what to do really, regarding the winning bidder who has "changed her mind", very apologetic & has good feedback but aaaaargh!

    You see if I bought these I might have to report them for misdescribing the item. They JUST aren't as well used as SOME I have seen!
