Hmmm what to do?

JPS

Can't believe I woke up to the following e-mail this morning...

"hi. i understand my son has wom the above item , this has been done without my knowledge , can i cancel the order , as he has no right to buy this item eithout telling my.
you are not the first one he has done this to , it seems i spend all my time apologing to people for his mistakes"


The item in question is a wristband I sold. I can not believe this guy thinks I am going to take back a WORN wristband because he can't control his kid so therefore I suffer for it? It jus isn't going to happen. To be quite honest I thought he was taking the p**s. I have not replied yet as I just don't know what to say - I certainly don't want a neg for this!!! Hmmmm any thoughts people?

What a kurfuffle!

Haha! Cheers Stavros - I guess having a cool head in a situation like this does help! I didn't realise he hadn't even paid for the band - I sent a NPB alert a few days ago. I will send an email asking him to mutally agree to cancel the auction, so I get FVFs back.

The only problem with filing for a mutual FVF is that you lose your listing fees and the buyer is able to just keep doing this over and over again.

There does seem to be a sudden surge of 'sorry my dog bid' or whatever excuses at the moment, maybe if these people got a NPB strike they might think twice about doing it to someone else.

Just a thought.

They are a Non Paying bidder, and thus, anything other than filing as such is simply woooooooooosing out.

I have just let one of my now 33 NPB's as long as he covers my fees.


The story was :- Oh we have already paid for 1, we didn't realise we had won yours (about 3 hours before and after the congratulations you have won email..).


Think I am getting soft but as long as they communicate and are willing to come to some compromise its not so bad.

Oooooooo that happened to me!!! I was desparate for a wee present and had tried for about 5 times to get one....lost out again and tried again..... then got notice of winning the earlier one! I had now got 2 ....I bought both ... to cheap to quibble on ( I did bid for both!) But were the congrats email went to / or the ebay llisting in the you have won went to I have no idea!! cyber space!

I shall be seliing second one soon!

PS Not quite the same situation but nearl enough!!! Mine were both from the SAME seller!!!

Would the answer to this one not be Change your Password? Does it not require you to input your password before every bid? it does on mine but im not buying every day.

if it is only a small item that cost a little why don't they just pay up!!!?!?!?!
