Still no reply or payment from buyer!:mad: the sale date was 28/06. Sent them an e-mail on 5th July and on the 8th July too and asked if they still wanted the item.

On the product's page, it is eligible for second schance offer.
Should I go through resolution centre or make a second chance offer, never done either before!:o
Can any experienced ebayers please help!
TIA:)

No doubt too late for you now, for non payers, you should always wait for the dispute to close.
You then get your FVF's back firstly.
Secondly, when a dispute is opened you will often get paid, so if you've sold through a 2nd chance offer, you could potentially have two buyers for one item, the buyer who you can't complete the sale with can then open an INR dispute against you & leave low stars & neg FB.
Low stars are worse for a seller than neg FB.
Low *'s & non performing seller strikes can mean that your ebay days are numbered, as you can get your account closed.
New ebayers should pop over to the main ebay board, http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=40
on there you'll find loads of info.

Ive been fascinated reading this thread. So much so, Ive trawled round the house, found some discarded rubbish and odds n ends and put them on ebay.

Be interesting research to see what sells

Includes a slightly used bottle of BioOil and an empty bottle of Ralph Lauren Safari After Splash!

Thanks for this, I opened the case on 10 July, do I have to close the case myself to get back the FVF, or will ebay do that automatically? I still have the option for second chance offer so will do that after the case has closed
TIA

You'll need to close it yourself, if you opened it at 9pm on the 10th you can close it after 9pm today.
After this length of time the chances are the 2nd chance won't get taken up though, unless it's a very unusual item.
don't forget to block the non payer from bidding on your items again.

i have sold a psp shell before, there was no battery or charger, no games nothing, that sold for £30! i also sold my old laptop, the funny thing was, somebody essaged me and asked if they could buy it for £60, i had put a starting bid of £20, so i agreed, then he got greedy and said he had reviewed the situation and decided £60 was too much, so he would give me £40, i declined this and said good luck with placing a bid, i will sell it for whatever it closes at, good thing i did it sold for £115 including p&p bet the guy was kicking himself, he could have made a right profit, if he wasnt so greedy!

People can be odd. I had a chair for sale with a £50 starting price and someone asked for a buy-it-now price. I said they could make an offer and I’d consider it and they replied back .... offering £40. Never before (or since) has someone asked me that and gone on to offer less than the starting price! Funnily enough I declined and it sold for £109. There was an air of suspicion about him too, as he was one of two people to email me within 10 minutes, at around midnight, both asking exactly the same thing and both saying they could collect the following day. The other one never replied but did go on to bid (and didn’t win).
