[QUOTE="NOS, post: 3108096, member: 2098"]I suspect there's more going on with this buyer than is realized. Why would this buyer habitually contact sellers after the end of an auction and offer more money? If it was an isolated occurrence one could argue the buyer simply came upon the auction after it was over. What is the benefit to the buyer in making a habit out of doing this? If I was a seller and another buyer contacted me (especially if the buyer is new) I would be inclined to think it was some sort of scam. I've been using eBay since 1999 and only once has a buyer tried to jump in and buy an item I had won after the auction was over; this buyer was kind enough to ask me if I would mind letting it go to him. In terms of suggestions what you can do, I feel I could make some good ones but the title is conflicting in the sense it is written that you've tried to handle the situation peacefully (indicating a peaceful approach hasn't been working and that you're giving up on utilizing a peaceful strategy) while at the same time in your post it is stated not to make suggestions which "cross the line" (which is interpreted to be the opposite of handling the matter peacefully-- which it would seem the approach you now desire to take). Maybe I'm just overthinking this.[/QUOTE]
