eBay nonpaying bidder strikes

[D. Bergin]

I'm pretty sure. If the three are part of the same transaction from the same seller, it's counted as one.

If she was booted off Ebay because of it, she has more then likely been hit with these from others. Good riddance, I say.

Her interaction with you, threatening to have others neg you.........could be grounds enough for kicking her off, along with any other ID's she has connected to her account.

Also, if she has others bid for you and leave negatives.........it's not going to do her much good if they don't actually pay you. Non-paying customers can't leave you feedback.

If she's vindictive enough to pay for items just to leave you poor feedback, it makes you wonder why she didn't just pay you to begin with.

That has always been my understanding as well. Also consider that eBay would never boot someone off based on their interaction with a single seller. If your unpaid item strikes got them booted off, you were the last in a string of bad dealings they had.

I wouldn't worry too much about retaliation either. 9 times out of 10 these after-the-fact rants are just that, with no bite to back them up. In the off chance that they do have friends willing to sacrifice their accounts to the cause of vengeance, just use the "Report This Buyer" link on your feedback page and explain the situation in the comment for each item their "friends" bought/won. In addition to the Unpaid Item strikes, any feedback they managed to leave will be removed.

Ebay has FINALLY introduced some features to protect sellers (albeit retroactivally) from abusive buyers like this, so be sure to use them. Good luck!

I have been told that the 3 strike roll is rarely implemented and buyers are generally not suspended for getting more than 3 strikes. Usually it is a warning until it becomes a habit over a short time.

In your case, it is my understanding that 3 transactions on the same day using the same payment method count as 1 transaction for the buyer however for the seller those 3 transactions count as 3 transactions with regards to the Detailed Seller Ratings.

Wouldn't be a suprise to me after reading her "positive" feedback. She had a feedback score of 41 but when you read the feedback, there are in reality 7 negative comments that people posted as positive so they could air their story. She was firing message after message after she got her strikes with each message getting more abusive. We reported her and also called eBay to complain. Too bad eBay just won't let sellers post negative feedback instead of having to post as a positive to tell their story. As you can guess, she is blocked. eBay needs to find a way to prevent idiots. From messaging after they have been blocked. Also, all of her bad behavior has occurred in 8 short months.

If she knew to complain about the 7 positive feedback she received from sellers stating a negative comment she could get them removed and eBay would warn the sellers. Yeah I know, pretty ridiculous.

As for preventing people from contacting you that you have blocked, you can do that by following the instructions on this link

Why is she complain to you about her not paying? That's like me getting mad at Leon because I forgot to renew my subscription to Time magazine.

Please post her ID so the rest of us can add her to our blocked bidder lists.
