    Block this person: nightforce6682

    This person won an auction and gave me the tired, "Oh, my two-year-old kid bid on this and bought this accidentally." Really? Your two-year-old kid knows how to bid in $1.00 increments on 6 separate occasions in the final minutes of an auction? And your two-year-old kid is really into third-party Transformers?

    Good grief. It's bad enough to get a deadbeat bidder. It's even more insulting to get a story like this on top of it.

    In the future, all deadbeat bidders should just write, "You know what, I'm a jackass. Sorry I cost you time and money because I can't decide what I really want, and I have no problems with your paying for my indecisiveness." Copy and paste.

    No payment and no reply to invoice, message and non-payment case.

    Bought a Lego manual off me clearly listed as 'Manual ONLY'. Now wants to cancel because he didn't realise that it was only the manual, despite both the title of the item and the description both distinctly saying so.

    Typically sent me a message now, 2 hours after I'd sent the item out to the person.

    If I was you I would follow his items, bid to win any of them, not pay and give him the same lame excuses, he cant leave you a neg after all.

    Heh. That would be satisfying, though I'll just count on karma to boomerang him in the face. Problem with idiots like this guy is that most of them, all they do is buy on eBay. They never sell. I think that's part of the problem. People who sell know what it's like to be on the other side, and they tend to be capable of, you know, basic human functions like courtesy and empathy (at least when it comes to buying/selling on eBay).

    Despite communication from the buyer and a date set for payment, he never followed through and then didn't bother replying to messages nor the non-payment cases raised. This was for 8 auctions totalling 28 comics, very annoying.

    Won a SW Clone Wars Clone Commander Colt from me last week and didn't pay. Contacted him today and asked about payment.

    His response? Oh, I found it cheaper elsewhere.

    Guess who is now on my list of banned buyers? The 6 positive feedbacks should have told me something.

    Had to open a case in order to get buyer to pay, now almost three weeks after the items were delivered, he's claiming they're missing pieces.

    Buyer purchased a set of G1 Trainbots from me, when the arrived he insisted they weren't as described and wanted $300 back. I told him no so he started a return against me. I had to open a case, eBay obviously sided with him, so he returned a package to me. He sent back a KO Cyclonus in their place, and now eBay is refunding the $1000 he paid me. Beware.

    First one of the year! As usual no payment, doesn't seem to have any problems bidding and paying on other auctions though....

    Newest one from me. The tracking number says he went into the post office and picked it up on the 4th of March, then on the 19th tried to file a case claiming he never received it. Thankfully eBay wasn't fooled, and released my money straight away.

    Haven't posted in a while...

    rockbacklash

    Bid and won, didn't pay and never responded to messages. Clearly bought items from others but paid for those.

    Guess that whole "three unpaid strikes and you're out" policy by eBay is really being enforced there...

    It even says on eBay's site "by placing a bid you are obligated to fulfill your purchase on successful winning of the auction."

    Bull.

    Thought it was a little too quiet after only having one so far this year and then these two pricks come along at the same time. Neither bothered to pay nor acknowledge the numerous invoices sent to them.

    Thanks for the info, guys, and keep it coming. Recently, I added whitecityknight to my list. This is a 0-feedback eBayer who bid on my Mezco One-Sixth Dark Knight and never paid.

    Won an auction and minutes after getting the invoice told me he wasn't going to pay because he "misread" the auction.

    edit: He did offer to pay the eBay fees, so there's that.

    You can add this prick to the list: buyerbeware.2012

    It wasn't Transformers related, but after trying to sell an FX Darth Vader lightsaber for a week, this clown suddenly closed down all communication, and forced me to open a case with Ebay. An updated list of my other non-paying members include: dori102145, groovybruceman, nenasepulveda, walus_4xidi3a9

    Be sure to put all of them on your ignore lists and avoid them at all costs.

    Zero feedback. Won a Tread Bolt from me, didn't pay. Avoid.

    My newest one, bought my Megazord lot, still hasn't paid. I'm about to close the non-paying bidder case, and block him.

    Add pvo911 to your block list.

    Here's the long and the short of it, I put a few MP's and 3rd party MP's on ebay last week. He emailed me and said he wanted my MP Hot Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, DX9 Tyrant, and MakeToys Visulizers for - get this - 250 US shipped to Canada. I said no thanks, and he wanted me to counter offer so I countered with 400 US Shipped which I though was a good deal for him seeing that shipping alone would be upwards of 60.00 US. He scoffed that my auctions would never get near that amount, but he would bid and try to win them anyway. Well, the bidding ended and low and behold those 4 items garnered nearly 500 alone-with him winning Tyrant and Ultra Magnus. I must add, that for for International bidders I use Ebay's global shipping program- which doesn't give me the option of sending them an invoice or combining shipping...2 days go buy and I hear nothing from him. So I send him an email saying I'll box both items up, get a shipping quote from USPS.com and let him know how much his shipping will be. Turns out to be 54.55 for shipping. He emails me back and says "since I paid so much for the item's please give me free shipping" LOL. I reply back that I'm not eating nearly 60 bucks shipping, besides he got a good deal on a MIB Tyrant 107.00 and MIB MP Ultra Magnus 163.51 as it was.

    2 days later, I get an email. I can't pay- didn't get my Christmas bonus. Sorry. Well hell, so what do I do? Relist both items. Next thing I know I get harassing emails from the guy calling me a "fraud" and demanding that I cancel the auctions he didn't pay for (so he doesn't get smacked by ebay by being a non paying bidder no doubt) lol. I think the guy must be short on his meds or something. Complete bullshit artists and a pushy one at that. Avoid at all costs!

    1/17/17 update. Now this guy is demanding a REFUND for items he didn't pay for because "he didn't receive the items".. lol wow, yeah I don't think so.
