Ebay no pay shenanigans

[jfkheat]

Just last night I had a guy hit the BIN/OBO on a $750 card. 20 minutes later I received this message.He has received 3 positive feedbacks for purchases since this happened. I had the card listed with a BIN and had it set to accept any offer over $750. My guess is that he made the $750 offer not expecting it to be automatically accepted and didn't have the money to pay.

"Listen I don't know who you deal with,
but I don't pay $71 tax on anything lose the tax now, or I would've been $700 in the first place dude !!!!
call me if you need to at 818 xxx-xxxx

If you're playing the guilty tax game I will only PAY $700 and pay $700 plus the shipping which is what $710 total !!!!!!!!"

Shortly after that one I got this one.

"hope you read your emails, unless you want to delay the sale.

I'll be honest with you again,
you're not gonna charge me an exorbitant amount of tax ,because I'm going to have to renege, or I would've bid $50 less in the first place, so just to get the tax, because,
$700 is the total amount I agree to pay.

The bottom line is,
$710 total right now out of my debit card which is fine, And the only way we can do business with the site."

I was asleep so I didn't see these until around 5 this morning. Here is my response.

I don't have anything to do with the taxes charged. New tax laws went into effect in the last year or so stating that eBay has to charge taxes on sales. I do not get that money. Ebay pays it to whatever state you live in"

His last message.

"That's fine, but the bottom line is,
I still can't pay for it now that you've made that clear to me,
because it's rejected my 3 credit cards,Two times each.

So,
I have no idea of the universe how you,
or eBay, expect me to pay for this when I have plenty of money to do so."

I cancelled the transaction.
