Organization: AOL http://www.aol.com Newsgroups: alt.marketing.online.ebay x-no-archive: yes Maybe it’s the water, Maybe it’s the air, Maybe it’s the sunshine what gets in their hair… but hey, 5 deadbeats in 5 sales is a new record for me, summer or no summer. Wood G.
I don’t accept bids from 0 Feedback Bidders. My ads say: "This auction is not open to Bidders with 0 Feedback, and if you bid on this auction, your bid will be immediately canceled and you will be put on my blocked bidder’s list." These ads are all Wrestling action figures…I’ve had 100% non-payment from 0 Feedback bidders on these items. Also terms are payment in 7 days. If payment is not received…item is relisted. Still had a bidder with the name of eatmyshorts32, bid on my auctions…Name made me wonder…He had no valid e-mail account. I’m thinking of not accepting Mondey Orders either, as they sometimes take 3-4 weeks to arrive. My auction figures are extremely rare, one-of-a-kind, mostly signed by the wrestling stars. rickmanski

Generally, I disagree with banning 0-feedback buyers, since I’ve never had a problem with them. However, given the demographics of the market you’re dealing with, I don’t blame you one bit. Nor do I envy you your headaches.

I’m also in NC, and have had alot of postal trouble. Ebay and non ebay related, 3 out of 5 cheques sent to me (and I know they sent them, realible customers and busisness) never got here. Oddly enough, junk mail from NY or CA arrives here within ONE or TWO days of postmarked. Kinda makes a postal conspiracy a realistic idea.

You made me feel much better. I’ve been having problems with deadbeats for the past few weeks, but nothing like that. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – x-no-archive: yes Maybe it’s the water, Maybe it’s the air, Maybe it’s the sunshine what gets in their hair… but hey, 5 deadbeats in 5 sales is a new record for me, summer or no summer.

I still have almost 40 bidders from auctions that ended June 2 and 3 with no contact, let alone payment. :-/ Bill
