On the 7th
November 2007 I sold the Bossons Desert Hawk Wall Plaque to Tony Hawker
in Ramsey, Cambridgeshire. I sent him an invoice and sat back and
waited for his payment.
It did not arrive and after about 12 days, just before I went on a weeks
holiday, I sent him yet another ebay reminder asking him to pay.
When I return I had a message which said:
tonyjuli1511 15-Nov-07 at 20:52:08 GMT
sorry we haven't paid you been having trouble with Paypal so
didn't realise payment hadn't been made to you. If you send me
address will pay you by postal order tomorrow
|
I responded and send my full postal address on the
23rd November but, needless to say had no response and
no payment. I waited patiently until the 1st December when
I sent yet another reminder:
|
Dear tonyjulie1511,
Following your message I have now sent you my postal
address but I still have not received your payment.
Please let me know within the next two days if you are
going to pay for this item or if I have to ask ebay to
refund me with the final value fee and issue an unpaid
strike against you. I don’t like leaving negative
feedbacks but if you don’t respond I will have no other
option which may seriously affect your credibility on ebay in the future.

On the 2nd December I
received an answer which said

Dear redpumpernickel,
Congratulations! You've sold your item on eBay. Send an invoice
now so that the buyer can arrange to pay you.
So here we
are:
One blatant lie after the other and clearly no intention
to pay.
I don't like to leave negative feedbacks on ebay and I
do prefer to deal with people I can trust as this is the
basis of selling on ebay.
The buyer has to trust the seller that the item sold
matches the description and the seller has to trust the
buyer that he pays for the item he/she bid for. This is
auction law.
I can't stand people who aren't truthful, if they don't
want the item then they should not bid for it and even you change
your mind then tell the truth and don't mess the sellers
about.
As I had no response I have no other option but to claim
back my Final Value Fee from ebay, who in return will
issue yet another unpaid strike for tonyjulie1511 and I
will also have to leave now a negative feedback as a
warning to other sellers.
