Non-selling seller on eBay Message #1 Posted by Anonymus on 13 May 2005, 9:27 a.m. Hi, I was wondering if anyone of you guys has experience in how to deal with a non-selling seller. Got (admittedly) very lucky and now the guy refuses to sell to me. I have contacted eBay a week ago and have yet to hear from them anything else than their canned responses. I requested the sellers details yet they are not accurate anymore... Any ideas? I'm sure If I give bad feedback he'll just retaliate... Thanks for any help and advice (I posted this anonymus to avoid the guys in the knowing to find me on eBay and the seller. Don;t want to go that public yet)

It appears you have done all you can by reporting the facts to eBay. It is well to remember these few facts: no one sells anything because it works too well. The first objective of those who sell through auctions is to make money. All that glitters is most definitely not gold. Caveat emptor!

Re: Non-selling seller on eBay Message #4 Posted by bill on 13 May 2005, 1:09 p.m., in response to message #3 by Thibaut.be My reading of the agreement makes it clear that the seller is supposed to have a good reason to end an auction. I sold something that I had second thoughts about--but I let it go--cause I did not want to mess up my e-bay "privileges." I guess I was mistaken--I'll read it again. _Bill

If the seller has got a good score he'll sell even in the case of a bad bussiness just to protect him from negative feedback, but if your seller has got a low score, as I said, you can't do nothing useful...

Re: Non-selling seller on eBay Message #8 Posted by Matthias on 15 May 2005, 6:13 a.m., in response to message #7 by Anonymos Hi Anonymus Why don´t you tell us your real name or even your ebay name? I very often deal through ebay and get in conflicts with sellers / buyers sometimes, but I´m still using my real name to keep my words open and to give the other a chance to talk. I think, if you want to solve a problem correct, you should be more transparent. Matthias
