Sounds like a scammer. English is clearly not his first language.

That's what I thought too? Like they expect me just to send them the bracelet.

Pleez you send me on to?

He told me to call eBay. Lol. Then I asked for a screen shot. He said NO. Can't do that. Lol. Well. I guess i should refund the buyer and give it to him for free!!!

Why even bother with all this? The person has no recourse as they are not an interested party in this transaction so you have no reason to even entertain their inquiries. Just ignore them.

Yea, I finally blocked them.

That is what I was thinking also. He does have over 1300 f/b on the bay so he/she has been around for a while. English does get a little better on the recent sold auction descriptions.

That person is a seller as well (they have recent completed listings but no active ones now) and should know how things work? Crazy. I don't think it's a scam, I think it's a spoiled person that is used to getting everything they want. I'd ignore them. Their sniper app probably glitched or their wi-fi had a "moment". Who knows?

Not really a problem, but more of an oddity. Received my shortest eBay feedback ever: "Good"

LOL At least it was a positive

Seemed like when I was trying to sell my court reporting and office equipment, I always attracted the attention of the Nigerians. Another person claimed he was in his 70s and offered me a lower price for my laptop than I was selling; he must have inboxed me a dozen times. Using eBay, for me, was one bad thing and one phishing scam after another.

I'm not griping, but I found this amusing. There is a camera that is listed at $150 OBO. I offered $125, and I just received a counter offer for... $150. I wonder if they understand the concept of best offer? I hope they aren't waiting for someone to offer them $160.

 

[trdhrdr007]

I started an auction a few days ago for a camera lens. Within a day I got an offer from a guy that is also a seller. The offer was fairly strong but I have a policy of not ending an auction once it starts so I sent my standard form letter to the guy. His response was to send another offer that was about what I hoped the lens would sell for. I decided to accept his offer yesterday morning. Ended the auction & relisted as a really high BIN with best offer so no one else could buy. Before I did that I sent him a message about it. He responded to that within a couple minutes which is about how long it took to relist. Once it was relisted I sent him a link to the listing. The guy didn't make the offer at all yesterday. This morning he offered less than his original offer....

This guy spent $550. Here's his feed back... I opened a case the same day...

Just out of curiosity how did those bad ones have a positive sign...I thought that was supposed to be a negative red circle.

 

[Beachkid23]

Because he's a buyer and you can't put a negative for a buyer. So all you can do is leave him a false positive.

 

[oredigger62]

Ebay basically said that a buyer can screw over a seller and the seller cannot tell anybody.... unless they leave a false positive. In which case it shows with their id as 100% positive feedback. If a guy has 300 false complaints it shows as 300 good so many people won't actually read the reviews.

Yep I was so excited that money would've helped but jokes on me!!

I still can't believe ebay won't allow anyone to post honest feedback. That is just ludicrous to me.

welcome to the world of fleeBay

 

[Beachkid23]

Had someone put an offer on a toy. I accepted. Day later says he found one cheaper sorry. Well, I said I'm confused, you put the offer on it... I'll send a cancel order request.


Why if I accepted your offer would you shop around more and not pay? Maybe offered a little less..

Buy the way, saved a tortoise from traffic yesterday. About to get hit. (Dollar to show size)

Good save on the tortuga.
