can somebody explain to me why people bid on and then win an item on ebay when they have no intention of completing the transaction
I'm trying to sell my old astravan and mistakenly thought ebay would be the easiest and quickest way to do this , how wrong could I be ?
1st listed her just over 2 weeks ago ,auction ended and after 3 days no contact was made by the winning bidder, so I e-mailed him via ebay, at which point he then informed me he didn't have the funds to complete the purchase and now wanted to cancel the transaction....why the hell bid at all then , in light of this I had to go through the rigmarole of opening a non-payment case in the resolution centre, which meant I had to wait 7 days before I could list it again.
as I'm an eternal optimist ,I re-listed my van and joy of joy's she "sold" and for a higher price than the first time, or so we thought, 2 days after winning the auction the bidder contacted me to say he lived in Norwich and could not get upto Sheffield to collect it and as no money had been exchanged he now wanted to cancel his transaction.....again why the hell bid in the first place if collection was going to be an issue , my items location was quite clearly visible on the listing so again a non-payment case has had to be opened.
needless to say I still have my van but she now has a for sale sign in the window and will sit on the drive until she is sold or rots away
I think in future i'll stick to only selling items on ebay that have to be posted.
sorry folk's rant over
