"deadbeat" auction winners?
anyone revceiving "fraudulent" bids?

New Message"deadbeat" auction winners? (modified 0 times) FleabayBoy
Hi,

Yeah I know that Ebay prices have gone through the roof lately (hold the flames,[ I purchased several of mine at prices much higher than retail]) but...

I was wondering if anyone has received "non-paying winning bids" on auction i-O's.
Seem to be quite a bit of zero feedback newbies bidding/winning on multiple and rather pricey auctions.

Experiences?

thanks

Never had a problem, quadruple profits and high quality bidders always. If you are selling on Ebay you need to research your bidders, look at their feedback and look at their buying habits, if in doubt E-mail them. If they don't respond cancel their bids. Ebay is fun but it is not easy you got to stay on top of it and play it safe.

Good Luck

I have an auction that was won by a "newbie" but so far he responds to email and is taking the long way home- mail check wait for it to clear wait for shipping instead of BidPay (sp?) so I'll cut him some slack but report back if there is a problem...

Thanks for posting.
I had another one. high bidder not responding to emails and he just received neg feedback from another auction for non payment.

Seems that some lamers are bidding up items "out of reach" real bidders. Just cancelled his bids.

I get them at CC and sell them for double or more on ebay, this is great dealing with people too stupid to go to CC and get it themselves. A fool and his money.....
