Something New - Ebay Feedback
 

Got this feedback yesterday (Thurs Night)
NICE VERY NICE CARD'S !!.GOOD BUISNESS.FASTEST DELIVERY !!.THANK YOU.HAROLD

Not so weird, except for the fact that the cards haven't yet been paid for or shipped! Won 13 cards, got 12 more of the same feedback today (Friday). Then get an email saying the customer would pay me Saturday.

Am I THAT good? ha ha

I received positive feedback from Probstein within minutes of me paying.

What if he doesn't pay you?!:eek:

Probstein has it set up so that feedback is automatically left when payment is received.

Yeah, but that is an automatic feedback from the seller. This feedback is from the buyer.

I've seen people with new accounts leave feedback on their early purchases. The whole auction thing is new to them, and sometimes they are just happy to have win the auction.

Eventually they become jaded and cynical like the rest of us, and will better understand the process.

Funny you should mention that and a strange twist to this one.... He paid for those cards, received them and sent this Ebay message. Note all of his messages come in All Caps and spelling errors/typos throughout.

Then he proceeds to bid on more cards in the next group the following Thursday. My final group was to go off Monday night so I messaged him and all other winners offering to let them hold payment if they wanted to bid on Monday's cards too and I would combine shipping on all. I was going out of town that weekend, so waiting was good for me. He left the same feedback on those cards as well and said he had already placed bids on several cards in Monday's group.

Monday comes and goes, no additional bids from him and he doesn't win any more cards. Now, he has disappeared. Hasn't paid, and obviously I haven't shipped. So I have 5 or 6 more cards that feedback was left, yet this time no payment. I've sent him an invoice twice and two messages.

I'll wait until Sunday night or Monday to file an Unpaid Case, but it was just weird that he paid as discussed the first group, sent probably 10 different messages and now nothing. I'm wondering how stable this guy is or if he is in jail or a hospital. But that would be guessing!

Perhaps.....
 

The guy who was buying up all the 52 Bartirome cards has shifted gears?

or

It was part of the Russian election team trying to provide cover

or

perhaps there was a developing aneurism

or

anyone else???

Weird thing is, I looked up his profile on FB. His profile says he want to Harvard. ha ha He does look a little off. Also a quick google search did unearth a few arrests, so who knows he could be off on a bender, in jail or in the hospital after an OD?

On a separate note, I got a message today from a non-payer from an earlier auction apologizing saying he bid on a bunch of cards and went out of town and forgot about them, came home to ebay and found a mess. He only won 1 card from me and I told him I had already offered it to the next highest bidder and sold it.

Had 3 non-payers in the 3 groups of 1971s. The above two and a 3rd who ignored all invoices and messages and then paid almost immediately once I opened an Unpaid Case.

Had only 1 non-payer in all auctions before those.

Hmmm, maybe you shouldn't sell anymore 71's? Lol!

maybe so, but...probstein is still dead to me!

Functionally illiterate, simple-minded and a deadbeat? Probably in Congress.
