Popular Post Drifter 851 Posted March 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2014 Sometimes I feel like the internet is nothing but a means for assholes to spread their assholeness to a much broader audience. Case in point- Last week I sold GTA5 on Ebay, I finished the game and really only care for the story mode so figured I'd give someone else a chance to own if rather than it sitting unused in my rack. So I sold it last week on Ebay. First off I have been on Ebay for 10 years, have 100% positive feedback on 840 transactions (in other words I am a responsible and honest buyer/seller). The winning "bidder" on my auction just joined Ebay 3 days before winning my auction and has ZERO feedback. They bid on the auction right at the end and won it. Then 3 days go by without payment. I send a 2nd invoice, still no payment after 4 days so I file a case/non paying bidder with Ebay. Then 6 days after winning the "buyer" sends me a message saying to cancel the transaction because their game system broke. Okay wait a minute, lets use logic here, they are trying to tell me their game system broke in the 1 hour between them placing the bid and the auction ending? I don't think so. So I reply back to them in a polite manner telling them they need to pay for what they won because the auction has ended and its been a week so the other bids I had are now useless since this person won and has not paid for a weeks time. I get a reply back. First of all this person is either 1)- An immature kid, or 2) - Adult that is completely ignorant and has no education what so ever. Because there is ZERO punctuation, zero grammar, misspelled words all over, and the usage of terms is totally incorrect. Here are the few messages between myself and this mental giant today. The quoted ones are the "buyers" replies. (keep in mind this is a week after they won the auction and have not paid. could you please cancel the transaction my son system is broke thank, you I can not just cancel this, Ebay does not work that way. You bought this a week ago, not only does it cost me selling fee's on Ebay but other people bid and you outbid all the others so now I can not even offer it to the other bidders since they have obviously already bid and won others for themselves. If you did not plan on paying then you should not have bid, You need to be responsible for what you won and finish the transaction you entered into. like I said I tryed to be nice about the situation but you can't make me pay for this item and for your response to be so ruled to the issue you can keep your item now you be more responsive and relist your item and get rid of it yourself I don't know who you think you talking to in this matter if you know the meaning of responsibility then relist the item because I know you can cancel the item you choose not to but I don't give a dam if you do or if you don't I'm not paying for the item you are ruled as hell and remember to get respect you have to earn it and you haven't earn mines so it is what it is and you report to ebay as well as I'm going to report the issue with ebay have a good day and do not email me anymore period we will deal with the issue threw ebay period. First off READ the rules of Ebay. When you place a bid it is a binding contract because when you win an auction it means the other bids of the other people are now useless. Plus the only way I get reimbursed on the fee's ebay charged me is to open a Non paying bidder case with ebay, then wait 4 days, then after they have reimbursed me THEN I can relist it. I can not just cancel after the auction ends or I lose my fee's I paid. But that still means you have negated the other bids I had so I now have to go back through bidding again. I find it very funny that you are saying you will report me?? You are in fact a NON PAYING BIDDER yet you feel you are going to report me for something? Be my guest, because when you tell Ebay that you won an auction then did not pay they will in fact give you a "strike" because I have done nothing to you but ask you to follow through with your responsibilities with what you agreed upon by placing the bid/winning the auction.BTW the issue was already reported by me to ebay 2 days ago. And I will be following up with them. fuck you I did not bother replying back again to this obvious moron. I simply reported him for a 2nd time to ebay, this time for using foul language as well as being a non paying bidder. I tell ya people that act like this online are nothing but cowards, because if this person actually saw me in person I would bet they would be singing a different tune than saying "fuck you" because I would twist this idiot into a knot and drop kick him through the uprights of asskickingville! tronic44, Xethius, JsinOwl and 8 others 11 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/1073-ahhhhh-yes-the-internet/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoroVC 37 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 You could have agreed to a mutual cancellation and you would have got your fees back. I agree the guy is douche for not paying but at the end of the day no one can force a buyer to pay. I usually opt for mutual cancellation if the buyer wants to back out because there's no point arguing with them and its quicker than doing a NPB. Although going through the NPB process is the right thing to do for other sellers as the buyer will receive a strike on their account. If you try and force someone to deal they will probably dick about claiming not received or disk not in case.

Drifter 851 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 I've never had to have a mutual cancellation so I was not sure how that would work with my fees I already was charged. Plus even if I did get my fees back I feel a mutual cancellation would be nothing more than my aiding people in abusing honest sellers. Reason why- Now that sellers can not leave negative feedback for buyers there has been a rash of non paying bidders over the past year. What is to stop someone from bidding on three different GTA5 auctions and winning all three then choosing to pay only for whatever one was the lowest winning bid they won, then cancelling the two other ones they won, then that in turn causes two sellers the hassle of having to go through cancelling, being credited, then relisting and hope that it doesn't happen to them again. That happens all too often now on ebay if you read the seller forums on the ebay community. So I refuse to help enable these low life non paying bidders by giving them the easy way out. And I never ship a single item on ebay without tracking so that they can not lie and say it never showed up. Easy solution IMO. Only bid on what you want and then be a responsible adult and pay your bill. Not lecturing you BoroVC just explaining why I would not do a mutual cancellation for someone like this even if I did get my fees back by doing it is all. deterioration, Diddums, Docwagon and 2 others 5 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/1073-ahhhhh-yes-the-internet/#findComment-28370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepercolony 275 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Boro makes it sound like it might not be worth it, but personally i hope this kid gets dinged for his shitty behavior, even if it's only on his ebay profile, and not, you know, his stupid face. if there's no accountability, there's no system. you're doing the community a service by seeing it through, otherwise he's just gonna flake out on the next guy. i hope his profile is visible so you can see whether or not he got a strike or whatever by the end of this. people like this shouldn't be allowed to use the service (much less breed). I bet people like that wouldn't dream of behaving in that manner face to face. It's only because they are hidden anonymously behind their fucking keyboard that they think they can act like the big I am. The internet has really crippled society in so many ways that I find too much of it intolerable. yeah i dunno about a trip to asskickingville, but my first instinct on reading the responses was, "i'd love to meet this guy." like i don't want to be friends with him, you understand, i just think five minutes of sitting down with someone like this and having them answer questions about why they're not a decent human being would be beneficial (mostly for them). . . . now all of that said, if you've played GTA5 Online at all, this type of behavior was to be expected, as that community represents a collective of fuckfaces so indifferent to basic decency that skipping a payment would've been their most innocent offense. i'm currently one of them as i don't have a PS4 and wasn't interested in the lastest CoD.

All it said was..... "what the hell ever". The fuck is this person a total fucking moron or what? I never even replied to the last "fuck you" now they send "what the hell ever" message?

BO7H B4RRELS 2,453 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 The "what the hell ever" message was probably because eBay contacted him and told him what was up.

Basically a short version is someone tried to scam an Apple Powerbook from someone on eBay, who was wise to it, and a massive story unfolds which also involves a forum, and people in London getting involved as well. Needless to say, they got their own back, and the seller paid import tax on a Powerbook, which he got: Chookes and Plumbers Crack 2 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/1073-ahhhhh-yes-the-internet/#findComment-28418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
