Im sick of eBAY:(

[YankeeCollector]

2nd week in a row one of my high priced auctions ended with some (ZERO) bidder. Im thinking of suing to enforce the contract just for principal and having this loser arrested. Anyone have any suggestions?http://www.ebay.com/itm/120829339201...#ht_648wt_1398

You mean have the winner arrested?

Didn't this just end?

Yes and for the 2nd week in a row, some newly formed eBay account with someone with NO intent to pay bid on the card in the last 5 seconds!!! Im getting really sick of this!

Can't you offer the item to the next highest bidder at the price they had bid? I'm sure the bidder w/ bid #28 would be willing to buy the card from you at lucky 7's...

My experience is that people are always skeptical when they get second chance offers. I dont even bother. I will just keep the card!

Under ebay settings you can decline offers of people under 5 positive feedback. I've done that and at least gets rid of those newer buyers who don't intend to pay.

I think you would be hard pressed to get someone arrested over a non paying bid on Ebay. AS a former seller myself, I've had this problem numerous times and there usually isnt a whole lot you can do. You can get a refund from ebay for the costs of the auction and if they are in your state I do believe you could take them to small claims court over the matter. You could try ebid, which is where I usually sell now and I've never had a problem with a nonpaying bidder there...However the buying audience is a bit smaller there...so its a toss up either way. Ebay, with its price structure became too much of a burden for me to continue there...On ebid they charge next to nothing...so its worth it for me to actually keep most of the money your selling your items for.
