Deadbeat ebayers

Deadbeat ebay sellers, they are often in a world of their own. I read so many forums that moan about eBay buyers, however it’s not often that sellers are bought to task.

It’s critical that bad ebay sellers are named and shamed. They give all sellers a bad name, the more we read about how a seller has performed poorly or ripped someone off, the more bad press eBay receives. This has an adverse effect on all of us.

Let’s all stand up against deadbeat eBay sellers, name and shame them by emailing us here. We’ll add your emails below to ensure adequate warning for others.

Poor eBay seller, admits his/her scam

The first shocking eBay seller is below. In summary, the buyer purchased a DVD via second chance offer, paid immediately and waiting expectantly for the DVD. A few days passed and this email arrived, by the way the user name is Choc---dip, who fortunately is no longer registered. No doubt has set back up under a different user name. The email has not been edited for grammar or spelling mistakes.

The seller ID is Choc--dip

End of email

Well, what is one to do in the face of an email like that. The buyer, clearly unhappy sent a couple of emails back to the seller. Again, these have not been edited, so you can judge for yourself whether they were rude.

Response 1

If you do not have the funds, Paypal will not be able to refund me.
Why don't you send me the DVD when you have it in stock?

From Seller

ive got £2567 in the account but cant withdraw but you will get it back shortly

Response 2

I can't make a claim until 10 days have passed. I’m really annoyed about this.
I'll probably have to wait another 30 days for the refund. Why can't you send me cash or a cheque?
I was thinking, my elder brother does not live far away from you in Wickford. I'm sure he would not mind popping around to see you.

From seller

you can make complaint soon as youve made payment these no time limit make a complaint and say im not sending item to you then i can refund you almost straight away

Response 3

You're a crook, I've asked my brother to go around to the address you provided.
I'm also contacting the police, people like you disgust me!

From the seller

ive sent you many email now telling you what to do ive spoke to paypal on
the phone and they told me that you will have to make a complaint against me
then you will get your money back you prat or cant you under stand that
