Any ebay sellers wanna lend some advise?

[lecktronix]

I ran an auction and have a deadbeat bidder. This is my 1st time not to be paid. Since he has not paid, I think I am gonna keep my cards. Should I just eat the final value fees or file a non-paying bidder alert? Thanks for the help.

you can always sell it to the 2nd highest bidder on the second change thingy...

I guess the next question lies with me....

I think I can get more of what I am after by trading these cards. Anyone agree? I only collect former Alabama players, but I think Lebron could pull some serious weight on trades.... what to do... grrr

[gioperation]

yeah I do believe that as well, that is an option as well.

when people don't pay on my auctions, I just file a non-paying bidder option

Make sure you do this within the 30 days after the end of the auction; otherwise, you won't get your refund

Don't give the bidder a negative feedback, b/c that idiot will then give you a negative feedback

Ebay NEVER removes that negative feedback; they could care less about you. All they care is getting lots of people on the site and getting fees on them

I would definately file a non-paying bidder alert form. And file to get your fees back. Don't let ebay be the only one to make money off this deal. They already have enough money from people not claiming there funds. Just my 2 cents.


P.S I would definately get rid of those cards in one way, shape or form. They are just too Hot HOt HOT!

try to email him. Normally filing would be over $50 so this is great for you to get the $ fees back. Good luck

I would agree with $koberookies$. Try to get back your fees and sell it again. Lebrons rc's are probably going to go down. I had a couple Lebrons and couldn't get rid of them because of their high bv (unless you want to trade down; best offer I had was for about 40 $2 cards for an $80 Lebron RC).

Check out your bidders list. I can vouch for these two bidders. I have bought from them and they have been very good with communication. I would agree with trying to sell them off. The only Lebron's that are going to maintain their BV are the rare ones: refractors, low #'d, and auto's. The others will go down after the Cavs are out of the playoffs.
