Name and Shame Bad eBayers

Since eBay made the feedback system a one way street, it added yet another level to the disadvantages that must be endured by eBay sellers. Buyers (even the ones that don’t pay) now operate with impunity on eBay. Sellers are unable to leave anything other than positive feedback for buyers. This assumes all buyers are without blemish and in possession of a clean set of morals and ethics. All very well if you live in The Night Garden, but not entirely realistic in the real world.

The Paypal scammer is the worst of these. The Paypal scammer buys an item, receives it, then pretends he hasn’t. He then files an “item not received” claim with eBay/Paypal. Paypal immediately remove the money from your account – you get no say in that. Unless you are able to prove, with tracking data (or occasionally they will accept documentation such as proof of posting if a Power Seller), that the item was mailed, you have effectively been charged to give it away.

You paid eBay listing fees, eBay final value fees, Paypal fees and then mailed the item. The Paypal Scammer gets a full refund — including postage — from your account. Often times, he leaves you negative or perhaps neutral feedback like this star did for us today:

Paypal Scammer
Buyer: Member ID joey-tribiani-67

Another type we encounter is the one who is a slow paying eBayer, who waits until the day before he gets a non payment strike to pay. Very often, this type start bombarding you with emails asking when it is going to be shipped. “Well, it could have been a week ago if you could have been bothered to pay” is my usual reply. This type then receive the item and immediately ask to return it for spurious reasons. They usually want you to pay. After return and refund, then they often leave you negative or neutral feedback. Why? Because you correctly filed an unpaid item claim. That pissed them off and they had to pay. Of course, you cant leave them bad feedback either.

Some buy the wrong item and want you to take responsibility for it. Another star we encountered was documented here: Ian Kowalski — (ian_ski). He left us this little gem simply because he was stupid and unable to look at a picture:

Poor comms. Doesn’t state that part will not fit all models

Those who argue about postage costs are another breed. Often, they wait until they have actually “bought” something to start with this. One such gem was documented here: Janet Bailey aka jsb190854

Anyone with half a brain, when buying from eBay, checks the postage and handling price, and weighs up the total cost to determine if they are getting value for money. If a sensible person wants to ask about combined postage charges, they do it before the auction ends, not after.

There are always the non payers. We documented one who was too gormless to work out how to pay here: 2009kclarke — another who simply didn’t respond to payment requests is here: leeseat123We have many like them.

None of these people received negative feedback from us — because eBay doesn’t offer that functionality. Many of them left us negative feedback though.

As a seller, what can you do about this? Well, often times, it seems to be the same miscreants over and over again who are stiffing sellers. I think it must be a hobby for some of them. Google is your friend, and sellers are starting to Google. Many sellers are incorporating the blocked bidder lists of others to prevent these people from stiffing them over too. Block them before they bid.

Did you know you can block people buying or bidding on your eBay auctions? eBay do not trumpet the facility but after a dozen or so clicks in the help pages you might find the page. Here, let me make it easy for you, it is here: Block eBay Bidders (You may be prompted to log in to see the page).

  1. I too have dealt with many clowns over the years on eBay; the place is full of them and now we cant even leave a truthful negative feedback anymore. They tend to take the piss royal style!!

    Sellers: No negative feedback/crap “Paypal only” or you dont sell, excessive fees. Lose…lose….lose.

    Buyers: Exchange faulty goods for good sent items then claim off Paypal. “Oh yes sir you can have all your money back, just send the seller your faulty crap!!”

    Leave till the last minute to pay, then leave you a negative because you open a dispute! Lose…lose….lose… yet again.

    eBay sort your heads out before its too late and protect the people that that earn your income for you…. the sellers!!!!!!!!!!

  2. roun-to-it he bid on item, won. I realized I had significant mistake in the description, cancelled and immediately refunded his money. He never responded, just left a negative- has a track record of the same type of foolishness.

  3. 2010shanas1961 sells FAKE Gant shirts on eBay.

  4. lombardy3456
    DO NOT DEAL WITH HIM
    I bought an ite for £1 plus £1 postage and after paying he delayed for a few days thne demaned more money. I said no and he posted but then a few days later started getting harrasing emails asking for more money and then asking me to help him get out of his ebay fees by cancelling the transaction.

    New problem with ebay. I left a negative feedback but there is now a way of removing negative feedback (I know as I did it when I got a neg from one of those people who just buy and leave a neg with no intention of paying) so he just removed it. Maybe he does this to everyone and those who complain and neg he just removes it?

    Had me in tears because some of his emails were so bad! – ebay werent much help stopping him and although I can block direct emails I cant block ones sent through ebay.

  5. divinityarthouse do not sell to this ebay user. He has a habit of buying then compaining. Also if the item is not brilliant he expects a refund and lies.

  6. thecheetahexpress a massive company trading world wide run by SAURABH CHAWALA.I bought a Nikon lens from them and I found it was faulty on recipet.It was put together wrong and was not worth £50 let alone the £1300 I paid.I asked for a refund within an hour of receiving it and he told me to “send it back to Nikon under warranty”.I insited on a refund which he gave on returning the lens.I then asked for the return postage to be refunded and he ignored my emails.I stated on Ebay feedback.”Faulty lens,told me to send back to Nikon,did not pay return postage”.He emailed me within 4rhs and said he would pay my return postage if I removed the negative feedback.I removed the negative feedback and he DID NOT PAY THE RETURN POSTAGE.He says he is a reputable trader!

  7. w197411 is a maniac that buys a *USED* domestic appliance part for less than £5 then complains that we should have cleaned it?? WTF??

    He buys an item for under a fiver that costs over £20 usually. It is used, he knows that, he saved £15 and he wants us to lovingly polish it for him before sending it? What type of drugs are these people on that they leave neutral feedback for stuff like this?

    Here is the losers info:

    wayne critchley
    39 brandhill approach
    crofton
    wakefield
    West Yorkshire
    wf4 1pe

    Of course, he is another one of those eBayers who don’t know how to use capital letters too. I pasted his name and address as he wrote it. Clearly, he is barely literate too.

  8. Seller schiller4399 steals copyrighted text from the listings of others. He is not original enough to write his own sales copy.

  9. Dear Ebay! Thank you for supporting swindlers and nonpayers. Due to your generous support to dimwits and open abusers I have a buyer at the moment with the 100% of positive score of 6. Out of the six “positives” 4 are repoted by sellers as a nonpaid. And the rest 2 are obviously some problematic deals with very strange wordings.
    http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/tiaanamusanhi/
    It is too late to ban the buyer as he is obviously going to be a winning bidder in a couple of hours. I want to avoid the hassle, but there is no way.
    It all looks lke the ebay policy makers are deliberately abusing sellers. Shame on you.

  10. You should still be able to cancel his bids and then block him?

  11. To Editor.

    Nope. Somehow the cancelling script didn’t work, probably because it was less than 12 hours before the end of the auction.
    The fun of it is that now almost 4 days later, I’m still waiting to hear from him. Luckily, as it is over 4 days I can open a non-payer claim to avoid the 8% ebay commission.. I must say the ebay was very quick to charge me with their share of the bear which is not killed yet.
    I doubt if I’m going to sell anything on ebay again.

  12. Added later
    Luckily ebay allowed me to cancel the dispute and refunded my fee.
    So, it takes exactly 4 days to be able to open a non-payer dispute. Another 4 days to wait for payment – if the payment not received within those exra 4 days you are allowed to close the case and the final fee is returned.
    I noticed that the buyer tried to leave me a negative, but the system prevented the attempt and left a notice in my account that the nonpayer tried to do it but was refused because of the open dispute.
    I wanted to leave him a feedback, but ebay informed me I couldn’t do it since the “buyer” was no longer a registered user. Weird..
    Looks like he reregistered himself under some other nickname to be able to carry on pestering other sellers.

  13. luckings123*123 is one to block. He will myther the arse off you for feedback before he has left yours. Really, like two emails a day! Has he nothing better to do?

    This type collect your good feedback then typically leave you negative or neutral. Don’t fall for it. Leave feedback on a reciprocal basis only and make them leave yours before you leave theirs.

    This is what we did with this spanner. See here.

  14. old*country*roses should be banned from ebay, she knows how to play the system. She returned an item, saying it was damaged, and wanted a full refund including postage both ways. when i received it back, she’d damaged it herself (i had photos of the item showing no damage)
    she then opened a dispute on ebay.com instead of ebay.co.uk so it didnt show up in my resolution centre. ebay refunded her the item cost plus postage.
    feedback she’d left for others show she does it all the time, as shown below-
    “”Item was bobbly smelt funny and postage was high

  17. THIS PAGE IS EXACTLY WHAT SELLERS NEED TO GET TOGETHER ON! KUDOS to the creator. I won’t beat the dead horse on ebay’s new “we love douchebags campaign”… we all know what is up. We are a hobby dealer that is raped on a regular basis by unscrupulous buyers that destroy new items & cry defect later. We are more than willing to work w/ any buyer that has a legitimate issue..we maintain platinum power seller status & have for some time so we are far from new at this.. We will happily share our loser hall of fame in hopes that some of you may tell these buyers to “pack sand”….IN ADVANCE!

  18. Here is one to add to the block list from this very site: Read the tale of Eddie Anderson.

    eBay ID: scottish-boutique

    email: eddieanderson1027@btinternet.com

    Block this idiot. As an eBayer, its always disheartening when you get a stupid buyer who cannot read the listing properly, is too lazy to check facts and then attempts to hold the seller responsible. Eddie is that guy. Block him before he leaves you a negative because of his own stupidity.

  19. One way of getting a non-paying bidder to pay up, and this nearly always works, is to either use a friends account (with their permission ofcourse) or set up another account. Then email the winning bidder soon after the auction end stating that you really wanted the item and where surprised you didn’t win it as you had placed a bid for (winning price plus 50 – 100% or so) but something must have messed up as obviously you didn’t win. Ask the winning bidder if they would sell it on to you for the amount you said you wfhere willing to pay.
    Most of the time they pay up thinking they can turn a quick profit….of course, the contact from your mates accopunt/other account changes his mind once the npwb pays up.

  21. bam3130 is another one to block.

    Has the stuff delivered by DHL, signs in a moody name, then tries to pretend DHL made a mistake and it never arrived etc. You get the idea.

  22. Another bad ebayer:
    xiyizii (xiyimi@yahoo.com) / e-bay store: e_digitalbusiness

    Why bad ebayer?:

    1) wrong description (bad lens)
    2) asked for positive feedback, would not refund before.
    3) didn´t refund the full amount

    the whole story is here:

    http://badebayer.wordpress.com/2011/01/29/bad-e-bay-seller-xiyizii-store-e_digitalbusiness/

  23. Griffiths179 (now no longer a registered user, undoubtedly has a new ID)

    lydia_hawkshaw@hotmail.com (23, down street clydach swansea, sa6 5ha)

    (Why do so many of these people not use capital letters or any punctuation?)

    Buys up all her Christmas stuff in September. Takes ages to pay, involving numerous emails begging seller not to raise NPB dispute because it is Ebay’s fault! Waits 100 days and then opens a heap of Bank reversals with Paypal. Invariably wins most of these disputes (not mine thankfully) because seller has disposed of or didn’t obtain proof of posting . Gets all her goodies and then in January gets all her money back too! A real scammer. I expect she has a new ID now and will start buying up for her summer holidays soon. So watch out!

  24. Ebay user “kbrewer1983″, email: brewer-119@hotmail.com

    Name: Kris Brewer Charles and also his girlfriend accomplice into whose account I transferred my $800, Sarah Jane O’Brien, both living in Queensland.

    They advertised a “Canon EOS 1000D / Digital Rebel XS Digital Camera with IS lens”. AFTER paying and not receiving my camera the sellers admitted they never had the goods to begin with as they themselves had been scammed and apologised. They promised to pay back my money but never did. I am pursuing civil action (which is taking a long time!!). What kind of low-life people like to scam and rip-off others and have the nerve to think they can get away with it? Criminals.

  25. Ebay Seller: redpigeonbob aka Mr Robert Pickering

    I have had the great misfortune of dealing with Mr Robert Pickering who styles himself as “redpigeonbob” on Ebay. Status (16) as of this message and myself neraly 400 (100% feedback).

    I purchased a model locomotive which was described “AS NEW” on his listing. It was used, but nonetheless described as new and therefore my minimum expectation was that it would work.

    I should point out that I had already purchased some 100 locomotives for a software project I was carrying out.

    Upon arrival, it was found to be faulty, with the wheels stuck and the motor burned out. Surely the Sellet must have known this.

    In any event, what should have been a straightforward dialogue between buyer and seller descended into insults and accusations on his part when I was eventually forced to open a claim within Ebay.

    To this day he washes his hands of the matter and I would strongly urge people NOT to purchase from Mr Pickering as he sells goods which are mis-described and then has no desire to resolve the matter.

  26. hello, I buy and sell a lot from eBay I expect items I buy to be as good as I would sell, hence clean tidy and working if advertised, at lest washed clothing.

    Over the past few days I have had things that are smelly, faggy, dirty items, in this case a full bucket of bacteria!

    I have uploaded pictures on to my live account (copy the web address in to internet explorer) and it should take you there, this item although was 5 pounds cheaper than all the rest only mentiotned that it had a worn out button! (2.00 new from eBay) it did not mentioned that it was full of food and cat/dog or even human hairs, nor did it mention that I would more than likely catch a flue related desees form this product.

    Take a look and let me know you think.

    Seller: keefyno1
    Item number: 130490519625

    Spent an hour cleaning it I will unload the pictures of it cleaned later.

  27. swhitham90 – Avoid this jerk like the plague! He bid on and won our car. Called 2 days later at 7:50am (on a Saturday!!) and woke us up, wanting to know if we could collect him from the train station so he could come and collect the car, at 3:30pm.
    Odd request but,fair enough…. we agreed. My husband had to leave work 1 hour 30 min early to meet him. NO SHOW !! We called his moblie to see if he was running late etc, he sent the call to voice mail. Waited an hour and called back, same thing. Then called his house and his wife said that he was due home within the hour. Prat never intended to buy the car! I filed a non paying complaint against him & of course can’t leave bad feedback. Others have left positive feedback – but in the actual comments it’s BAD. He is a repeat offender, buys, calls and never turns up!

  28. lexiot70

    Just avoid the above. Massive theft, and massive dick head.

  29. 63rosebear-bids, doesn’t pay and threatens to leave a negative feedback if you report her to EBay.

  30. I’m sick to death of ebay not allowing sellers to leave negative feedback. I’ve just had it out with ebay for this over the phone; but we all know this is not going to do any good!

    I listed something & clearly stated “local pickup only” in big capital letters & also included it in the postage section. vodice2011 bid & won the item. This person finally emailed me (after I emailed her as I had not heard from her)& it turns out she lives on the other side of the country! She wanted me to fragile freight it. I said no initially but then got back to her & said that she can organise & pay for this herself. I left numerous messages as I never heard back from her. I called her then & left a voice message. Finally “the boyfriend” called & gave me some sop story that their daughter was in hospital with cancer so they didn’t read the ad properly. I was sympathetic & we agreed over the phone that they were to make payment immediately & then they would arrange a courier.

    Well nothing ever happened did it! And they have been using their ebay as there was other activity & purchases going on. I have left emails to no reply. I opened an unpaid item case on them; & suprise suprise…no payment!

    POOR/NO communication
    DOESN’T pay

    This is my whinge to be able to leave some sort of negative comment for this person. I will feel better now that I have vented!!!

    vodice2011, you are pathetic!!

  31. louise cassie on May 6th, 2011 at 8:06 pm

    Member ID davew797 never replied to emails, never paid, all the time while I was waiting he was merrily purchasing items from other sellers

  32. kraken212 leepryor212@gmail.com Total thief. This seller takes my money, doesn’t ship, doesn’t repond to email, won’t respond to PayPal dispute. No onions. I don’t want to see anyone else get ripped off. Listed from Leesburg, Georgia. I see now he/she has removed all other listings from eBay, likely already set up shop under a different name. Item# 220767813240

  33. thinkoutoftheboxuk sells home made anime posters which probably breach copyright. They are really bad quality looking almost grey while the ebay picture is in full bright colours. His rating is 98.5% and has sold 193 items. Every time someone gives negative feeback he swears at them telling them to grow a pair of balls even if he’s talking to a woman.

  34. john1050john Time waster came to see said he would have it, arranged time to collect next day – never showed up!!
    Did’nt tke deposit as he seamed so genuine. Caused me a lot of grief in the sale and having to arrange to be in for him.

  35. Chaos_99.

    Thieving fraudulent ebayer.

    Bought Heroes season 1 – 4 from me and claims I sent the DVD’s instead. Wants a free upgrade to blu ray while sending me back DVD’s. I know they were bluray but he has sent spurious photos of a DVD set with the empty envelope that I sent the blu-rays in.

    Have checked the weight difference between the DVD box set and the Blu-Ray box set and it’s significamt enough that I have proof that what I sent was indeed the Blu-Ray set.

    Garry Langford

    That’s who you’re looking out for.

  36. Latenightales

    I wish to name and shame this woman.
    She bought my car putting in a last minute winning bid of £1405
    There was no contact for 2 days, she then informed me she wanted a RAC check doing (after the listing had ended) and then told me she would not be able to pick the car up until 16 days after the listing ended as she lives right down south … But this is the best part … The day before i told her she had to collect the car by she bails!! The pathetic excuse is her car didnt sell – i didnt even know this and het communications have been disgusting.
    So now the car has no tax and i have no way of reselling it for any decent amount of money.
    She is a total time waster – avoid at all costs

  38. One to block here: vikki30uk

    vikki@goodman49.karoo.co.uk

    Victoria Goodman
    49 Centurion Way
    Brough
    East Riding of Yorkshire (Hull to the rest of us).
    HU15 1DF

    Buys a brand new boxed item; one of hundreds, sourced direct from the manufacturer. Then leaves negative feedback claiming it is used (which it wasn’t of course). Why? Not happy? Dishonest? Stupid? Who knows or cares?

    Just another to avoid and block.

    Mohd Anas Ismail

    This one buys something which apparently arrived damaged. His English is so bad that his point is hard to grasp. He is also rude and bad mannered.

    However, after returning the item and getting a prompt refund, he then leaves negative feedback saying “poor communication” – well, duh! If you don’t speak English, what kind of communication do you expect?

  40. Her ebay user id is delysperfumes. Total scammer.

    delysperfumes

    Block her IMMEDIATELY if you sell children’s clothes and shoes. She constantly emailed me, pressuring me to refund her after she didn’t get her packages to Brazil. Well Brazil as we know, has the most inefficient and slow customs processing ever. I was forced to refund her after 30 days out of fear of her leaving me a negative and damaging my feedback rating. Magically, her package arrives a few days after I refund her, after checking the tracking number, and it showed her packages were delivered. I contact her to get payment for the multiple packages worth over $200. She ignored all my emails. Total scammer. BEWARE.

  41. jupanuq7vas

    won the auction on a £1000 car i was selling, then didn’t get in contact. apart from to ask for my mobile number, then never got in touch. er, hang on, is this another kind of scam? anyway, none payer, do not have dealings with him (calls himself ‘johnny’.
    apt.

  42. Kudos to the creator of this page – its about time us sellers had a way to combat the wasters (of time, money and effort) of ebay since they decided to remove out facility to fight back by making it possible for us to only leave +ve feedback. Where is the logic… oh yeah – its in their business model, best to scare the sellers after all its the buyers that keep their world raking.

    Anywho – more ID’s to cut, paste and BLOCK, these are all either just plain thick as pig-s**t, or fall into one of the pain in the arse categories and are best avoided:

    He is selling crappy SD cards.
    He asked me to return my SD card (I did immediatly) that didn’t work so he would send me a replacement.
    I NEVER got a replacement … now, he never replies my emails

  44. Here is a dreadful buyer to block:

    duveltje4evah

    An idiot in Belgium who wants the world for £2.39, finds fault with the purchase, sends demanding emails – no manners or “lets try to work something out” with this one – and then tries to bully you into paying £8 return postage from BELGIUM – good luck with that! You tried to stiff the editor of this blog Miriam! Dark day for you honey. Now you will learn the hard way:

    Personal data:

    Miriam Rivera Sanchez
    Scheldestraat 76
    Antwerp
    2000
    Belgium

    twsil@yahoo.com

    Only by publishing the personal data from the eBay “sales record” will we expose the real them to Google. This is the only way to discourage these people from douchebag behaviour. Let them, their friends and employers Google them and weep. These people wouldn’t try half of this stuff on if they knew the “real” them would be published.

    I guess Miriam can now be Googled and exposed as the douchebag she is.

    A screen name is nothing: publish personal information as well folks!

  45. Ebay non payers

    superhomer92 – non payer
    badgermushroom49 non payer

  46. total wanker has his feedback hiddon.i should of known from that..

    ba_cumi_dah_blart_yak …… thats him name ..after i delt with him ….he changed his name to that ….was something else before i rang ebay and complianed ..the idiot cant even speak properly..blood me breadwing thats all he says….all i did is google his name,and you can read his shit feedback left for others,even tho he has it set to private ..dont let him bid on your items ..youve been warned..

  47. sold a 100% Real brand new Designer T-shirt 2 seasons (2/3years) old to july742010 and herd nothing from them. no feedback no message nothing.
    Then they leave Negative Feedback claiming that they have been to the offical store and have been told that it is a Fake Item by HQ?? they then message me saying that they want a refund because its fake, (which its 100% Not) so i say ok have a refund il refund everything, postage the lot! just seems to be a mistake, but i want item back, they refuse to send item back, so ebay issues them with refund and they keep item.

    just before the refund i find out they just went into the store and the store assistant that probley hasnt worked there for 3 years didnt reqonise the T-shirt as there stock so they assumed it was fake, long story short Block this person july742010 they leave Bad feedback for 50% of there items bought, really bad ebayer!!!
    in 9 years of ebay never came across someone so bad!

    thats july742010

  48. I hate people that buy things on a buy it now or best offer and then dont pay for it!!! WE CAN NOT LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK for said twats!! and it cost us money for 30 days untill a none paying bider file is made.

    some one after will be treated the same up to 10 people before ebay will do any thing about it.

    so in gerneral we can not warn other sellers that a prtentional buyer is a problem, this meens that ebay make money on top of money as for 30days they have there intrest on our fees untill its refuned, lets say if you can get £4000 intrest on every 1m in an account today just try and work out how much ebay can make just on none paying bidders fees!! in one month world wide in intrest only.

    that why we can not say anything about sellers any more!!!!! only good feedback!

  49. snoopy2011sarahlouise scams refunds from paypal for items ‘not received’. Also sends the seller abusive emails stating that she’s going to leave negative feedback AND alert the police for fraud if refund not immediate! lulz

  50. Here’s one total time waster to block – tentwentyfour. they bid on my Raleigh chopper bike (Item No: 180742530100)and had a few emails from them promising to collect on the weekend. I was there waiting on the sunday when he promised to be there but he never turned up. He is a total idiot. I phoned up the number that was on his details and some dopey woman answered the phone and said “I know nothing about this, my ex husband has been using the account and I haven’t seen him for 18 months” – what pathetic liars!. I checked their details again and they had removed the phone number from the details within 20 minutes of me phoning but I had already written it down.

    Here are their full details: NAMED AND SHAMED!!!

    User name: tentwentyfour
    Tel No: 01495321752
    Address: Catherine Hopkins, Lincoln House, Abertillery, Blaneau, Gwent. NP13 1NR

    Ebay needs to do more about these people and clamp down on them hard

  51. Ebay seller listing fake pandora beads confirmed he told me there not real pandora!!…ebay number 180750334620 REPOT BUTTON ON EBAY PRESS IT

  52. Do not sell to or buy from 9666_dog. She threw a virtual fit when I would not accept Paypal and reported me to ebay and their computer generated system shut down my seller account. All this after I receive over 500 positive feedback ratings!

  53. Avoid seller valolita4455 at any cost!!. sold her a wonderfull little girls christmas dress for only £1.50 & asled only £2 postage to FRANCE! & yet she STILL refused to pay!! Refused to answer e mails, even e bay requested payment, no luck, should have account scrapped,,, gives e bay a bad rapp,, shame,,

  54. bob scam reporter on December 7th, 2011 at 4:24 am

    Do not sell to chomptrip he will send you back bad items for good items the claim through paypal

  55. HIGHFLYERS2011 – avoid any dealings with this ebayer – sells cars imported from japan – lists lower mileage and does not state KM’s on listing and embelishes on car extra’s and then even tho you have paid in cash but are unhappy with the vehicle to avoid bad feedback she raises an unpaid case against you and not only gets away with selling a vehicle not as described but also then avoids paying ebay seller fees – leaving a bad mark on your own ebay account which up to this point has had 100% positive feedback. Talk about finding loop holes in the system and ebay have let her get away with it!!

  56. I have also had many of these buyers. I have 100% feedback after over 1900 transactions and 7 years of trading on Ebay. The most regular at the moment are the ones that recieve the item then after a time sometimes a month, write and say that the item was damaged and want to return it for a full refund. I had one a few weeks ago with a laptop computer. It was perfect when leaving me, but the seller after a month wrote and said that is soon became unusable and that the backlight on the screen had gone. My reply was;
    “I am very surprised that you are having problems with the computer as it had been working fine while I had it and when it was despatched. I will refund you if you send it back to me at your cost, and if the security marks match the ones that I put on the computer before I mailed it to you” and what do you know, didn’t hear a thing after? Obviously a scammer. Buyer ‘spugglington’

  57. http://www.handyimports.com.au
    Purchaesd item on Ebay, they send the wrong item, expected me to pay to have it shipped back, when I declined they stopped communicating, opened a dispute with PayPal, only way PayPal will give me my money back is if I pay to have it shipped back, it would cost $60 to post back, it costs $65, they admitted in sending wrong item, and refuse to give money back, and PayPal has closed case as I was seeking legal advice, now I am out $175.
    So NOTE, never deal with this Company, even give Dodgey brothers a bad name

  58. librarian121…she is an inferior person on earth..never sell to or buy from her…

  59. rmd-brasilianhair

    Same old story lied about not receiving item, tried feedback bribery which failed. Currently being argued with ebay but judging by this article I am not hopeful.

  60. latvianconnection!!!

    avoid selling to this guy at all costs!
    He opened a case against me claiming undisclosed damage, ebay told him to return the shoes for a refund, he returned a box of manky clothes and a pillow. He now has the shoes for sale on his account, reported and police called but not hopeful

  61. Don’t sell to shanes213 real name Shane Stallbaum – he’s dishonest. He bids on items, wins, then doesn’t pay up.

  62. tabzjd – block him now – wish I had found this site ages ago, this guy will buy items then claim his son/daughter bid and he now does not want. What a child wants with a UPVC front door is beyond me. His feedback is now 100% but worth checking back through. he originally bought a car from me then communication stopped. After 2 weeks I had email sent saying the seller of this account is now dead and the account would be closed. Bidding continued with this account, he bought fridges, beds,lamps, some wannabe landlord in Birmingham? Perhaps he was being buried in a fridge to cut costs? If there was a death in your family would you be buying household items a few days later? I contacted the other sellers who had been scammed by him – same story, same excuses, my son/daughter bid for the item – I do not want. So tabzjd – a few years later and I found this site – NAMED & SHAMED – what goes around …comes around!

  63. Block her now before she gets you!! really horrible Ebayer!

  64. harlowhazel7 has an impecable record and 100% positive feedback as a buyer but she never paid for something she bid on. I sent multiple invoices and emails and opened an unpaid item case and nothing. Don’t trust her!

  65. dci-gene-hunt Don’t buy from this bloke he gets nasty and abusive if there are any problems. Ebay need to ban this idiot.

  66. poppy2charlie on March 27th, 2012 at 7:59 am

    this dope kdcti bid on my item and won on getting item to pack i could see that it had got damaged. so emailed him telling him so we both agreed to cancel ebay transaction he hadnt paid either. then the then this pratt leaves me neutrel feed back what a fucking a cunt you stick to ebay rules and this is what happens iv blocked him from bidding on my items his details are
    keith dunderdale
    barnsely mobilty center
    19-25 doncaster road
    barnsely south yorkshire
    doncaster S70 1TH

    REVENGE WIL BE SWEET HAHAHA

  67. Avoid jesus.shag2012 – bid late on an item to win auction. Later without explanation said they didn’t want it and when politely reminded of the rules decided to reply in a mature way telling us to ‘f off’, just the two words.

    Now reported and soon to be banned I hope – why bid when you don’t want something? Not to say what an offensive username.

    I have a nose for these things and thought they would be trouble when they won – avoid!

  68. I have been selling on ebay for 12 years, way too long and I have had it with them. These buyers now that they can’t get negatives are running around like spoiled brats, demanding packages be sent immediately even though we just waited 8 days for them to pay, taking us to ebay when they haven’t got their package 2 days later, leaving neg feedback just because they can and ebay does nothing
    Buyer 12-1-80 is a scam artist and liar, she knows how to work the system so she can get her items for free and then leave you negative feedback

    Block this buyer before she scams you!

  69. Another one for the communal block list: costasv

    He starts sending messages about the price of shipping to Cyprus before he has even bid on a 99p start item! Doesn’t want to pay £15 shipping (and it must be signed-for with Paypal or the buyer can pull the “item not received” scam remember) on a heavy item and starts asking why it isn’t £6 because he had ‘something’ sent once before for £6 to Cyprus.

    Who cares what the shipping might actually cost? As I said to him……

    You see the shipping cost and you make your choice if to bid. As of yet, you haven’t bid at all so its not an issue is it?

    People who don’t understand that the TOTAL cost to them including delivery to their location is what matters; not what a seller *may* allocate as ‘shipping’ (usually to include greedy eBay and Paypal fees) on the eBay system are not worth bothering with.

    This bloke is crowing and agonising before he has bid even 99p – which if he did, would make his total cost including shipping from the UK to Cyprus £16 on an item that is probably worth £20 – £40 anyway.

    If you get any similar messages, just ignore them and block the potential bidder quietly. People like that are the ones who pull the ‘item not received’ scam and/or try to dictate shipping charges for you (untracked) so they can pull the Paypal chargeback gag later on.

    Do not fall for potential buyers dictating your terms. Charge what you like for P&P because you don’t pay eBay fees on that P&P charge. You do pay the greedy Paypal fee, and that is enough already…..

  70. Rude, abusive, fact-distorted buyer on ebay: vsemoe60. Based in Israel, name is Efim Melamed.

    Ps. yes c0a1a03a6e471705c342e91c58452bb6593377218 is a genuine ebayer …. and a very bad one at that !!

  75. IGNORE THIS BITCH,BUYER FROM HELL

  76. cymby1209

    this ebayer bought a high end perfume from me, claimed it was fake and demanded a refund. I said refund on return and she sent back a fake bottle not the one I’d sold her. Ebay refunded her and I’m over £80 out of pocket thanks to this scam buyer.

  77. poppy2charlie on May 16th, 2012 at 9:37 pm

    Here is a real bad ebayer, to block ( 0797jim ) scamer and liar. His name is Jim Newton – his address is:
    27 The Marsh,
    Bedford,
    Bedfordshire MK4 37JU.
    01234 721570
    He bid at the last minute and wiped out all the other bids on my chopper bike. For three weeks he kept promising to collect and pay me cash on collection, he also wanted my bank details as well promising to pay me straight into my account which I did not give. His last excuse was that he was collecting on the Monday evening after work – I gave him a ring at 6.30 on his home number and his excuse was “Ive forgotten”! He is just one of those people who lie compulsively but sound so plausible. Avoid him and block him at all costs!
