Damn it....These stupid ebay buyers [Archive]

I clearly stated in the listing that it was for the CASE AND MANUAL only. What does the buyer do? After I send a message re confirming that the listing was not for the game. They say this

Hi,
I'm got so excited when I saw that the pikmin game was so cheap that I did not see that it was not the game. I'm sure you get this a lot. If you must, I'll pay the $14 but of there was a way where you could void the transaction I would be incredibly happy.

Thanks either way it isn't your fault,

What the heck how the hell could someone be "so excited" that they don't read the actual listing and just click buy. Even worse the guy paid already and only has 1 feedback. How would I go about refunding the money actually need help on this one besides it just being a rant

Did they pay already?

If not, might as well void it because they'll just end up not paying to avoid the transactions and avoid the negative feedback.

With how ebay is now, there really isn't a punishment for people who just don't pay.

Odd they said they'd pay. Least if they pay and you send it, you are going to win if they try to dispute it.

No they paid already. It's just that I don't want any negative or neutral feedback because of stupidity and than have to go through a process to get rid of that

12-13-2013, 01:09 AM

Now I might be completely mistaken, but I'm pretty sure if you go through ebay's process of cancelling the transaction both you and the buyer will be unable to leave feedback and any feedback left prior to the transaction being cancelled will be deleted.

I refunded a buyer after he sent a game back to me, they struck the feedback he left for me off my record and it wasn't even negative.

With how ebay is now, there really isn't a punishment for people who just don't pay.

Actually if a buyer incurs 3 Non-Paying Strikes in a year their account is automatically restricted and can no longer make purchases.

Additionally many sellers have set their selling preferences to auto block buyers that have 2 or more negative strikes or bid retractions. IMO a buyer not paying on Ebay really puts their account in jeopardy.

Believe it or not Ebay has really been cracking down on buyers the past 2 years or so. They even ban buyers that file too many Buyer Protection cases in a 12 month period. I'm not sure of the exact threshold but it seems to be based on a number of purchases made to cases filed ratio.

I've seen/heard reports of buyers being banned for filing 4 cases within a year. Doesn't matter if the complaints are legitimate or not; if the buyer trips the threshold they are auto banned. That's why you should always think twice before filing a case as you only get a few of them every year. Without Buyer Protection Ebay is really not worth the risk IMO.

Honestly LINK398, I think you should just refund the buyer and ban them from your future auctions. Just go to your Paypal account, view the detail section of the transaction and click on the "Issue Refund" link on the bottom of the page.

Mistakes do happen and I believe it's not worth the trouble to force this buyer to make the purchase. Sometimes it's good to cut people some slack and understanding; especially during the holidays...

I�m referring to buying and not selling; sorry for the misunderstanding. Once you reach a certain threshold/limit of complaints against sellers then Ebay considers you not worth the trouble and will revoke your Buyer Protection. You can still make purchases afterwards but you won't be able to file any complaints for items not received or described via Ebay or Paypal.

The exact formula/ratio eBay uses is not known to the public so I can only guess/speculate. But like I said; I've seen/read reports of buyers having their protection revoked for as little as 4 complaints filed within a year.

Actually, there is a difference between just filing a case and actually using Ebay buyer protection. As of several months ago, if you try to communicate with a seller and the subject is "item not as described", a case is automatically opened. Essentially, it's just a more formal means of informally agreeing to a resolution. If the seller agrees to a return or refund and you close the case, it doesn't count against any limit. If you end up escalating the case and Ebay finds in your favor and tells the seller to issue a refund and you to return the item, again it doesn't seem to count. It's only if the seller does not cooperate and Ebay has to actually pay out on the claim that the limit seems to be triggered. By the way, this seems to be the same with Amazon marketplace as the terms specifically limit buyers to a certain number of protection claims within an annual period.

12-13-2013, 03:42 PM

Yeah I was surprised and somewhat shocked that eBay will open a case for you automatically if you contact a seller regarding a problem with your purchase. This is pretty spiteful and I can only imagine the difficulty this has caused sellers...

You can still contact the seller by choosing "Other" in the topic selection though without eBay filing a case. This will keep things civil, not alarm the seller and more importantly not use your seemingly precious and limited Buyer Protection case privileges for the year.

I couldn't imagine shopping at eBay without Buyer Protection. A seller can send you a pile of pebbles rather than a $300 CIB copy of Snatcher for the Sega CD that you purchased and eBay wouldn't care; nasty stuff. Of course there's always a Credit Card chargeback though...

I got to remember your point about Amazon too; thanks. I've heard it also applies to coupon abuse. Recently there was a free shampoo deal via a coupon and I used all 4 of my Amazon accounts to score 4 bottles. I just hope I didn�t jeopardize my Amazon standing for my sweetly fragrant and luxurious greed LOL

Contact the buyer and tell him that you'll send a transaction cancelation request. That way your fees are refunded and he can get his money back. Simple.

It sucks, but the credit is applied to your account immediately. Usually.

It's a headache. Last summer I had this assclown try and game the system with the whole item not described bit and opened a case and contacted ebay about me, and keep in mind I've got a 100% record there and have been on ebay since they opened their doors. At first they had a pretty good story going too. I sold them my copy of Metroid Prime 3 (had got Trilogy so it was useless) and I put a few hours or so on it, it was literally scratchless, complete, spotless, so it went as Like New. He had previously asked me how nice it was (durr) and I explained it. Guy gets it and is silent at first, then I get this message about how the disc is scratched and him getting bossy about wanting to send it back and filing an escalated case. At this rate I was pissed as it was over like 10 bucks. I called his bluff. :) The auction had a pic of the case, then of the contents. I had a feeling he had a game already that was thrashed for a bait n' switch. I told him I'd be happy to take the game back if he'd pay under ebay terms to ship it to me and I'd refund the value after it got to me where I would check a set of high resolution images I kept for myself where I can check it for the codes on the disc ring and the overall contents and it's a match.

Never wrote back, closed case. I kept the images for like 6mo then erased them. :)

I thought there was also a limit on bid retractions, to deter obvious shill bidders.
Nobody legitimately "enters the wrong amount" 800 times in a month, like I've heard reports of.

I haven't posted in forever but this is right up my alley. Right now 90% of my sales are for empty game cases (gba, PS2, etc) and I would say every week I get a few people with 0 or 1 feedback saying the exact same thing. "Oh, I thought it was the game". It used to really upset me but after awhile I just decided to refund their purchase and block those sellers and that's the end of that.

It got to the point that I actually did research into why, and started asking these people if it was my fault for not being clear enough. (as if a $8.49 DVD case listing for a gamecube Zelda game that sells for $40+ with (NO GAME INCLUDED) in the name wasn't clear enough)

Reasons ranged from

*Clueless parents that genuinely did not read the listing or understand what they're buying
*Non english speakers not BEING able to read the listings
*Children using their parents eBay accounts without their permission
*People buying things on eBay off their smartphones which makes it difficult to read

It's usually for Pokemon, Zelda, or mario games.

MY advise? Be sure to list the item in "game cases/bags" or "game merchandise" to differenciate it from a game. Also be sure to have (no game included) somewhere in the title, and definitely have it in big letters with a disclaimer saying how you're just selling a replacement case. You can really only do so much though. I've seen listings that have embedded sound files when you open the page with an audio tone and message saying "welcome to my eBay page. You arte buying an empty replacement DVD case which includes no game disc" and then finding people have left that seller negative feedback for the item "not being as described"

You just have to kinda roll with it.

bigbacon

12-14-2013, 09:15 AM

yea I slap stuff like that all over my listings. I sold a copy of the PC version of FF7 a few weeks back. Person gets it and opens a case saying it wasn't the playstation version which is what they wanted.

Title said PC version in it. the condition box said it in it. The title had it multiple times actually. description had it as the first line and the last line and few times in between. Hell even the photos of the item clearly said 'now for the PC' on everything...

yea people just don't read. I think what people do is they search for an item, they sort by either ending soonest or lowest price, and then just BIN based on the little pic they see.

Tanooki

12-14-2013, 11:05 AM

A minimizing tactic I use is to ban all but buyers from the US which limits the non-english idiocy. On top of that, whatever game I sell in the topic header I will write 'Game Only, Game + Manual, Game + Box) or whatever fits and then again in the listing body too. I take pics of everything they'll get in high resolution and thankfully that mix has never had an oops moment buy on my items.

You'd like to think that, but it ain't so. eBay/Paypal caters to buyers, period. Same as amazon. Dealing with any of them as a seller is nearly maddening when it comes to any sort of buyer initiated dispute. I sometimes have to deal with Paypal in this respect. They work really hard to make it nearly impossible to sell on your own terms and prove that you (as the seller) are the person who is being screwed when a dispute comes up. Shit like insisting that you give an automatic refund when a returned item's tracking number shows that it's been delivered. As if the buyer couldn't have poorly packed the item which, resulting in damage or just send back a box of rocks. It's pretty much bullshit.

12-14-2013, 05:16 PM

This.

I have been selling odds and ends on ebay since '98, stuff from my personal collection (music CD's, books, video games), mostly just stuff either I have duplicates of or run into on "whole lot" deals.

A year or so ago I ran across some Pokemon games in a box of junk and when I listed them the difference in the client�le was like night and day. Full blown idiots, I'm honestly surprised they could even navigate the site enough to click on "contact seller" much less register for an account and bid on items.

I do not see how these people that sell hundreds and hundreds of items to the unwashed masses deal with it without being heavily medicated. Until I get a Pez dispenser full of xanex I'll return to selling obscure imports, JAMMA items, and NSBM CD's.

Well french is very, very complicated and hard to learn ! English is a lot easier. I would say I learned english with videogames, movies and books. I remember trying to play the original Phantasy star and dragon warrior, my mom was pretty bored of me asking what the text meant! A great way to learn words and meanings is to listen to a movie with the french track with english subtitles, your mind will pick up a lot of those words and you will read them in english, it helped me with spanish!

On top of that, whatever game I sell in the topic header I will write 'Game Only, Game + Manual, Game + Box) or whatever fits and then again in the listing body too.Another important tip: make sure you put it at the START of the item title and not at the end, i.e. "BOX AND MANUAL ONLY Battletoads NES" as opposed to "Battletoads NES BOX AND MANUAL ONLY". You know, in case they say that they didn't read to the end because they were so excited.

I had to deal with one of these idiots last year (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?164536-Oh-joy-my-first-seller-dispute) and I still have nightmares about it. I'm not so much worried about getting a negative feedback as I am about some psycho who knows my name and knows where I live deciding to go ballistic. Maybe I've read one too many stories about "merry pranksters".

I think next time I try this (and unfortunately, I have a lot of empty cases on hand to sell), I'm going to include a note in my listing stating, "YOUR ITEM WILL NOT BE SHIPPED UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THERE IS NO GAME DISC INCLUDED WITH THIS ITEM." That's not too outlandish, is it?

I told him I'd be happy to take the game back if he'd pay under ebay terms to ship it to meWait, there are eBay terms for this kind of thing?

Tanooki

12-20-2013, 11:03 PM

Yeah ebay has terms for shipment where the buyer is liable to pay return shipping. I'd suggest digging a bit there and seeing if you can find out the details but I know it's there.

You got a decent idea there moving ebay's scripted game title(system, date) over and placing that stuff up front, maybe it helps? I'm curious to see if you can get away with having people write you first before shipping to prove they're not incompetent. It makes a hell of a lot of sense to scare off a good many scammers, but I'd think someone could still regardless of that kind of agreement pull one of the other classic bullshit lies anyway.

It's like having an item description doesn't matter.

We offer a 45 day warranty on all of our products. Wonder why it's not 30-day? Look at PayPal's policies regarding the window in which someone has to file a "not as described" claim and you'll see why. Even if we explicitly offered a 30-day warranty on our site, Paypal still affords the buyer the ability to make a claim for as long as 45 days post-purchase, no matter what we say/do. Lovely.

You must be joking, right? French is one of the simplest western languages to learn, while English is notoriously difficult due to its long list of special rules and exceptions to those rules. Hell, sometimes the exceptions even have exceptions.

If you have a strong handle on the English language, then learning French, Spanish, German, etc. is not at all difficult.

I ended up refunding the item and opened a case saying both buyer and seller agree to cancel sale. It has since sold to someone else. Actually sold a Game Boy Advance with box and inserts and person is saying it hasn't shipped. I mean I actually sent them a message asking about it (won't be doing that again) and they said they haven't gotten it yet meanwhile it's saying it's been shipped and and arrived a while ago this shit never ends

PS: On a side not I picked up an awesome Neo Geo Pocket Color with 10 games and probably the better ones for the system so I won't have to buy any more (not Japanese games)
Here's the list
Neo Turf Masters
Sonic Pocket Adventure
Samurai Shodown 2
Pac-Man
Fatal Fury 2
Match of the Millenium

Like for an e-check? That can happen at any time. If you look at the details, I believe it will say "expected" clearing date, but it also lists a range of several days. Yep, I happen to have one and just checked. It says "Pending until December 23", then in details it says "eCheck estimated completion: Dec 23, 2013 - Dec 26, 2013." Hasn't cleared yet.

I think if you don't have your account verified 'enough', they hold even regular payments until delivery of the item or somesuch. In that case I don't have an answer for you.

Ah, but you mentioned box! I thought I was bidding on the cardbox box! Not the plastic case! Boxes and cases are different!

Does it include the game? :D

Two mistakes:

One, the font is too tiny, you should've made it bold, centered, and 48pt.

Two, no blink tag.

If I could remember my log in details for eBay (if that account even still exists, I dunno maybe they purge them for inactivity) I would be reallly tempted to send you a question asking about the condition of the disc.

For I moment I forgot that game actually did come inside a cardboard box.

Two, no blink tag.The blink tag well and truly died a while ago; no major browsers support it anymore. I suppose it's still possible to throw in an animated GIF or some funky javascript. Maybe it will come to that.

Maybe I should say "case" instead of "box". My concern is that people might not grasp what "case" means.

There is still the marquee tag which can also be used to blink text.
