Some with -1 feedback won my phone

reehsetin

no way i want to sell it to them thought id blocked people like that, how do i get out of it, if i refuse to sell what can happen?
i doubt the dude will pay anyway but just in case :S

update: he e-mailed wanting to meet up and pay in cash which i wasnt prepared to do now planning to do a non paying dispute

The buyer could file a non-performing seller report.

Edit (to add):I forgot to say that the above could only be done if the buyer actually pays in the first place.

I would do nothing for the time being as they can leave you a neg and its difficult (or sometime impossible) to get it shifted.

Do nothing. They will want it shipped to Nigeria or something along those lines and you can get out of it that way, claim your fees back and etc etc.

They will probably be kicked off Ebay before it gets that far anyhow.

I personally would go ahead and re-list or make a 2nd offer to the next highest bidder.

i made the mistake of giving a -1 feedback person a chance once, they seemed nice.

needless to say, they're -2 now ;-)

yup looks like im just going to relist, its just not worth the chance, whatever this person wants to do to me i hope people will see through it

You edited your first post to mention about the buyer paying.

I would not trust this AT ALL!

Even if he does pay, it will be via Paypal with a stolen card and paypal WILL take the money back off of you (and chase you to court if they feel like it if you have already transfered the money out), and direct bank transfer will be from a "stolen" account and the bank WILL just take back the money when they notice - same for cheques, bankers draft or any form of payment barring cash on the doorstep (do you have a little machine that detects forged bank notes).

Even if he does pay, do nothing, but especially do not take the money and deposit it elsewhere or spend it on anything and do not post the phone via any method whatsoever to any address anywhere on this planet.

yeah no if he pays ill refund straight away just not worth the hassle, his last negative was about not paying so hopefully he just wont pay again and i can relist again without a worry

First rule of business?? Dont you mean CAN'T construct!!!!!!!!!

I would email back nicely and mention that "I am sorry but I don't sell to persons with -1 feedback. My Ebay filters obviously haven't worked on this occasion, but I thank you for the interest in my phone but I am not prepared to continue this transaction with you. Goodbye."
