The buyer apologized and offered to send payment, but by then the name of the game was *slam dunk the bidder. To hell with the 3 grand*.

My .02 as mainly a bidder: When I see terms that appear dictatorial or one-sided (e.g. stating you will *not* verify payment receipt, etc.), I stay away. I don’t demand payment receipt verification via email as a condition on a deal, but if enough time goes by and my check/MO had not been cashed, I inquire politely (if it’s lost in the mail, I want to hold up my end of the deal by stopping payment and replacing it).

: You’d lose my business in the first three lines. I can honestly say that I’ve been turned off from auctions that were less insulting that this guy’s. One thing I really don’t want to bother with is people that sound like they’re going to be a problem even before you start the transaction. This guy is one of them. If he really does not want customers, my gut feeling is that he’s not going to get any. Seems like he’s trying hard to make sure he drives away as much business as possible. Peter

Just curious, How would you have felt if you had been treated this way when you were a "newbie?"As a seller, I know how you feel, but I do give the benefit of the doubt if there are no negative feedbacks, and, surprisingly, I have had more problems with those with better ratings!

Response:
I did quite a bit a research on this topic. A pattern formed quickly. In every instance that I found hardyboy left negative feedback (sometimes multiples) against his customers at the slightest provocation. Most responses claim he is nasty, rude, and vulgar. The most interesting thing is about the people he put negative feedback on. In Every example, he was the only person to bad mouth these people. Every other transaction went though smoothly, except for hardyboy’s. Now that sounds fishy to me. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – If I were you, I would use it..

Ouch. That’s one way to scare off bidders. I would NEVER EVER bid on an item if the seller posted such negative terms like that, no matter how good a deal it was. [snip] If the seller assumes I’m a deadbeat before I even bid, I’ll just find it somewhere else
Yup. I agree. As a Buyer, I tend to shy away from Sellers with low feedback. And I think twice before bidding on auctions from AOL Sellers [*]. If the Seller has included "counterproductive" terms, regardless of their feedback, I’ll move on to another auction. As a Seller, I really don’t care much about the Buyer’s feedback rating. If they pay, I will ship. If they don’t pay, I’ll perform whatever level of liver-ripping is appropriate. Then move on. [*] AOLers. sigh. 90% of the Buyers and Sellers I’ve had difficulties with over the past 5 years (eBay and elsewhere) have been AOLers. – Dan. | South Jersey, USA, Earth <http://users.snip.net/~darmok |
Response:
You’d lose my business in the first three lines. People don’t like you to assume they are thieves, and honest, serious bidders are the ones who are going to be offended most of all. You are saying up front that you won’t notify them when the payment is received, that you won’t notify them when the item is shipped. It puts all of the risk of delays in the mail on the buyer, while giving them no opportunity to resolve the matter. You basically tell them, "I don’t offer any customer service after the sale, but if you miss my deadlines by one minute, I won’t warn you, I’ll just nail your hide to the wall." Look at it from a different perspective, would you buy from someone who told you that? Dealing with customers, including the unreasonable ones, is part of operating a retail business. Trying to avoid that is going to solve your problems by eliminating your customers.

If you post a notice like that, deadbeat bidders will be the least of your problems…you’ll turn away more honest bidders than anything else. I would NEVER EVER bid on an item if the seller posted such negative terms like that, no matter how good a deal it was. Personally, I never bid on items when there are phrases in the description such as "Payment MUST be received in 10 days or negative feedback will be left." and "Please don’t bid if you can’t pay." If the seller assumes I’m a deadbeat before I even bid, I’ll just find it somewhere else, and for a couple of bucks more if I have to…. Mike
Response:
I think you’re cutting off your nose to spite your face. Some of my best customers have been people with feedback under 10. The legitimate people are very careful at that point, they are anxious to earn feedback points and go out of their way to behave properly. I’ve had a few problem people, but some of them have had feedback over ten. I’d be more than a bit surprised if it didn’t cut your bidding substantially. It’s easy enough to piss off potential customers without going out of your way to do it.

I’m really hoping your post is a dumb joke. For every deadbeat bidder there are many, many honest bidders. I do not know the ‘ethical’ or ebay rules regarding No bids accepted from those with an eBay feedback rating under 10", but giving neg feedback for winning your auction is simply ludicrous.
