    I am now leaving positive feedback for buyers once they have paid and find that on the whole they do take the time to leave me feedback when they receive item. My only quarrel with the new system is that I cannot do anything about flakey buyers eg those that take 10yrs (!) to send payment or worse still ignore all invoices. Yes, we can file a NPB but how do we alert others? Ho would another seller know this buyer's negative history when faced with such a bidder??

    I do give feedback straight away now but still get little back.....maybe they weren't happy :confused: .

    I've got someone who bought from me 13 days ago. After my invoice - she said she was sending me a cheque..and has asked for my address twice. But the cheque has not arrived nor any other sort of payment...getting really fed up. Cos even though I send messages I hear nothing back -
    shall I wait.... or shall I put the item on sale again on sunday?

    The decision is yours..

    My daughter is watching me type and wants the little people on it - here goes :o :eek: ;) :mad: :eek: :p :beer: :j :confused: :A :cool: :rolleyes: :D :eek: :A :beer: :money: :confused: :money: :p:o :rotfl:

    Does anyone else find it boring taking the photos and then listing them all? At least once it's on eBay it's quite good fun having people bidding on it :)

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    I have had my first non payer, I don't like the feed back system! I can't say anything;) ..............but I guess from my normal position as a buyer its great, since i have been stung in the past by vindictive sellers- its ruined my feedback.

    I guess we will just have to get used to it unfortunately.

    agree totally.

    BUT one fag left and then I stop - so hoping that 'listing' will be the new smoking

    You need to open a non payment dispute so that you get your final valuation fees back, and then relist the item.

    There's a fine art to Ebay that I haven't mastered.

    Was selling perfumes - new - unwanted pressies - thought I would start at 99p and thought the offers would flood in ......
    they didn't

    and they have both gone too cheap:mad: .

    Where to pitch the price? -- discuss ....and good morning
