Buyers From Hell

[frankb22]

I don't sell much but still managed to get two different guys who
bought raw t206 cards and upon receiving them contacted me trying
to say they were not pleased with the cards. They stated how unhappy
they were and that they wanted to send the cards back OR - they'd
consider keeping them if I'd refund a percentage of the purchase price.
They were obviously taking a shot that I'd send them some money
as the cards were described and scanned accurately.
Told them I would actually be pleased to take them back and
give a full refund because I really find it hard to part with any of my
cards. Encouraged them to send the cards back with no hard feelings.

Never heard from them again. I blocked both from future auctions.

Can somebody tell me how you block someone on ebay from buying?

Thanks in advance

Go to the Site Map at the bottom of your ebay home page and click it- you will be given a host of options which include blocking bidders. Then follow the instructions.

Many of these obnoxious buyers would never complain or type harsh messages if they had to say it to your face.

Howard - Sorry to hear about this and yes, I have had a "Buyer from Hell".

Back in 2006, I had a buyer, on three different occasions buy a card from me, then refuse to pay. What he would do is put in a bid of like $200, even though he was only willing to pay $50 for the card. He would always bid when there was maybe 15 seconds remaining in the auction. Then if his bid won, but was over his $50 personal limit, he would refuse to pay. Actually he wouldn't even respond to any emails and just forget about it. He was kicked off Ebay each time and within a week, he would open a new account and do it to me again and to other sellers. It was hard to block him because he kept changing accounts. After talking to Ebay on the phone, they finally got the problem to stop. Another strange thing about this buyer was each time he opened a new account, his mailing address was in a different state. An Ebay representative inform me of this.

I had other problems with buyers not long after that. I sold only modern cards then and it wasn't long after that I quit selling on Ebay all together. I actually looked at my feedback while typing this post. I haven't sold a card on Ebay since October 2006.

Another thing I found interesting while looking at my Ebay feedback was the number of sellers that I've bought from in the past few years who are now "no longer registered users" on Ebay. I guess Ebay has no one to blame but themselves for that.

I just sold a movie poster on ebay and mailed it the day after the guy paid. It took forever and the guy started getting mad but I scanned my receipt and Delivery Confirmation for him. It finally came 3 weeks later, damaged by the Post Office. He then proceeded to leave ME a negative feedback because the post office ran over the package with their truck.

Not trying to offend anyone on here because there are always good people everywhere, but of ALL the bad ebay transactions I have had, almost all are from New Jersey buyers. I am not sure if there is something in the water up there, but I am not kidding when I say 9/10 problems I have on average involve a New Jersey buyer.
