This Guy Should Be Banned By All Sellers On Ebay

It is against ebay's policy to leave negative feedback to buyers but see people are doing it anyway. You can't force someone to go through with a transaction really and I am reading the buyer claimed to be in the hospital unconscious. I have bid on things accidentally, fortunately the sellers were understanding.

I have not dealt with this person yet.

Something else struck me in this thread




So, you accidentally pushed several numbers on your keyboard right in the price field. Then you accidentally pushed the bidding button. Then you accidentally pushed the confirm button. After that, you apparently didn't even notice that you accidentally did all these miraculous things so you had no chance to cancel your bid. As, a seller, I would be a little less understanding (to say the least) if a buyer told me the whole thing was an accident. If by "accidentally", you are actually referring to frivolous bidding without real commitment, I would no longer question your sanity, but must say, that it is buyers who do such things that make ebay a bad place. You also imply these things have happened several times!

This guy (Hunting4collectibles) is as dishonest as the day is long...The first time he contacted me he stated that he is 82 years old and in bad health...Then in another email he states that he is 88...Ill bet this guy is no older than 50 and in good health physically,Im not so sure about mentally!

On the Bright side,He did file an item not received claim against me,and when he finally received it,he filed a Not as described claim .....In the end Paypal sided with me,because of all the off the wall things he was saying!!

Actually,Ebay refuses to remove the Bad feedback he gave me...oh,well

I am not explaining the situation on why I bid and what I missed as far as details but the choice was the sellers to tell me not to worry about it since they noticed that I was a new buyer at the time. This is the seller's call and not anyone else's business. To say "if I was them" makes no difference since you are not them and what they do is none of your concern. I was unaware of bid retraction at the time. When I get a non-payment, I always give the buyer the opportunity to cancel the transaction before I file a non-payment case which I have had to do. That is me, I like to provide good customer service and certainly don't act like it is someone's privilege to buy my coins. Why force someone to accept a coin they don't want I say. Better than having to deal with a return later. When I say "accidental" I mean it in the loose term like if someone missed a detail or was used to another site where shipping charges are fixed. I am certainly not seeking perfectly trained buyers who I can act like it is a privilege for them to buy coins off me. That just sounds like the typical snooty old guy who acts like it is your privilege to be in their shop who think that customer service is not required. I have talked to support on numerous occasions and ebay encourages sellers to provide good customer service and work with buyers and no longer permits sellers to leave negative feedback to buyers. I am not taking anyone's side. You do have the right to block buyers for whatever reason. I have had to block a couple. To say "it is buyers like you that make ebay bad" is simply bad customer service.

I always send several messages before I file a non paying buyer with ebay. Bid retractions with out a message to me and I block them and or report them if they have a history of retractions. If I had a buyer who bought something change his mind and contacted me I would cancel and relist. There is no reason to force a sale with a 14 day return policy they just return it anyway.

I find your response(s) and attitude regarding ebay transactions to be very troublesome. What is it about binding transactions that you do not understand. You are essentially advocating the acceptability of buyer's remorse.

If you were very new to ebay, a one-time error might be fine, but you yourself have said that you have made several "accidents" and that you think sellers shouldn't be so "arrogent" to actually expect buyers to go through with their winning bids. If a listing was deceptive or plain wrong, that's one thing, but why do you think you shouldn't be held accountable for properly reading a listing.

Calling any seller who expects a completed transaction where a buyer essentially decided on the price, "arrogent", is absurd. The tone of your opinion is very self-centered. Remember, ebay is a marketplace, but it is not YOUR marketplace. You don't get to do whatever you want. It IS buyers like you who treat ebay as their own playground who do make it a bad.

That does not mean leniency is never is order. I have had people say they had bought the coin for their husband who didn't want it. Fine. I have had people say they had some financial issue came up to make the coin's affordability a problem. Fine. I have also literally had buyers write something along the lines of "I didn't bother to read your description last night when I bid so I don't want it." I suppose you're one of those. You seam to think it is an honor to be giving me money for my coins and that any seller should always submit to the will of the buyer, anything else would be, "bad customer service", according to you.
