<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1374375, member: 15309"]Here is my story. I listed a toned MS65 Morgan Dollar with a $500 BIN or Best Offer. A guy with a feedback of 5 messages me instead of submitting a best offer asking me what the bottom dollar I would accept. Considering that my E-Bay store just opened, I tried to be accomodating and gave him a dollar amount instead of just telling him to submit his offer through the system. After getting my lowest offer, he asks for $20 off that price. That left me at a break even situation on the coin but because of the advanced toning, I knew it would be difficult to sell otherwise so I accepted the offer. He then sends me a message saying that he can't make any more offers on the coin so he is going to use his E-Bay alt which has a feedback of 0.</p><p><br /></p><p>My policy is that buyers must make payment within 3 days of auction close. Well, 3 days pass, and guess what, no payment. I assume that he forgot that he bought it under his alt account and send him an invoice with a friendly reminder. He responds by asking for more time to pay. I give him 10 days to pay at which point he stops his communication and forces me to file an unpaid item case to recover my FVF and had to relist the item. And for my generosity, I get to block 2 bidders instead of one.</p><p><br /></p><p>My opinion is that if an E-Bay bidder under 50 feedback has an unpaid item case opened and successfully closed on them, they should be NARU'd. Kinda like a probationary period. Also, since the E-Bay newbies are such problem children, they should not have the ability to give negative feedback to a seller until they reach the 50 positive feedback.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
