Sceptic about my ebay item buyer!!

edac6942 · Apr 24, 2015

I had an item on ebay starting bid $130
Alonzo mourning immaculate premium patch /25

So this buyer goes and buys it at the BIN price $200 (doesnt even wait for auction to end)

Now.. Hes got (2) feedback from hong kong

So i know Austpost does not have tracking for Asia just registered mail.

What should i do????

What are his two feedback?

Hitting buy it now on an auction doesn't necessarily mean it's a dishonest buyer, especially if you feel like someone else might buy the card before auction end.

I realize none of this really helps, but just something to think about...

Hi Mate,

Not 100% sure what part your worried about.

If it is he has 2 feedback (everyone starts somewhere)

He just used BIN and did not wait ( this happens a lot, do you expect him to wait and see if it will go past the $200 mark? Because he thinks it's worth it that is probably why he used BIN)

He may not pay? Well you do not send till payment received and cleared.

Delivery problems ( this is the sticky part imo, send it registered post pretty sure that covers you if he says it was not received keep your receipt and make sure that you list the value at $200.)

I have never had a problem when sending by registered post as they have to sign for it.

Maybe this link will help

Anyway good luck with it.

I do t care about "we all start somewhere".

My auctions state that all bidders with less than 50fb must email me prior to buying. That way I can check on them first. If I can't see any reason to trust them, I don't risk it.

In this case, there is no way I would send it. Unless you got a gift payment.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What you do is up to you I guess, but my reply including the " we all start somewhere" was made with the information provided in the OP.

I'm skeptical of all feedback these days on eBay - we're in a new age of scamming, people are getting screwed over by the system, figuring out the loophole, doing it to other people, starting new accounts and doing it some more.

I'd probably set some kind of minimum feedback to reduce the chances and I'd also block some countries. You just have to do it sometimes to reduce your chances of a "not received" or "not as described I want a partial or full refund" scam. It sucks it really does.

Good luck

Not saying you are wrong at all mate, just that I don't take risks that are unnecessary. If he really needs it, he can find another buyer with better FB to buy it for him.

2 feedback and already buying $200 cards??? Then wanting you to one of the worlds postal black spots??

No thanks

edac6942 · Apr 25, 2015

Well i agree with (drob50) it just doesnt seem right for i have listed the same item starting at the same price with (NO BIDS) multiple times in the past + i have emailed him/her 2 days ago to confirm address with no reply.
Thats alarm bells for me me.
I have a big feeling its a screw over job, so i think im just going to refund the buyer.
Bad thing is im risking a neg here.

OR EVEN BETTER ILL TRY SCREW HIM/HER LOL!!!!

So what do you think guys.

GarnettFan4Life · Apr 25, 2015

Wouldn't stress too much about the possible neg - how many people look into that really anyway? When I look at a powerseller and they have 98% feedback on 10000 I 100% expect to see the few people that are just plain idiots leaving ridiculous feedback for them.

edac6942 · Apr 25, 2015

I often see neg feed back with a reply from the other party, how is it possible to reply to a beg feedback?

drobfan8 · Apr 25, 2015

Post Express mail with full tracking and sign on delivery.

PayPal should fully cover you.
