I was out all day today and just noticed I got an ebay invoice from him. For $1500! (See attached.)

I assume he figures he'll send me an invoice for an outrageous amount and then complain to ebay when I don't pay it.

In 12 years and several hundred buys and sells on ebay, I've never had a serious problem until now. If someone has dealt with similar ebay problems, send me a PM.

The way I read the invoice is
$600 purchase
$100 pickup
$760 credit for dealing with this
========================
$60 owed to you for all the trouble + the game
 
Hey now... No need to take pot shots on Harley Davidson or those who enjoy riding them...

I've never met anyone personally who rode a Harley that wasn't a douche, drug addict, complete pussy, or combination of the above. I'm sure there are exceptions. But when you get them en masse it's always a douche fest, the individual ceases to matter.

I have justification though...?

Ever been stuck behind a trail of losers two miles long doing a stupid poker run at 35MPH on a major highway with police escort blocking passers while you're trying to roll out to work on a Sunday morning?

Or worked with a incompetent crack addicted POS who despite being gimped by his bike still rides every day and think it makes him bad ass?

And my two most worthless current coworkers just bought bikes, too, which just adds fuel to the fire of my disdain. Total pussies, extremely incompetent (when it takes an OEM mechanic 3-4 trips to do a simple inspection, - with an assistant mind you, which I have NEVER had - you're incompetent), one a meth addict, etc.

I just can't find the needle in the haystack to disprove the stereotypes (and this assless chaps lover didn't help). Sorry if that offends you personally.

All of the Harley riders I've met were super nice, because they either needed to use the tool kit from my stock Suzuki their $40k bike didn't come with, or needed someone to head back up the road to pick up something that fell off their bike. Good people.

Heh, a huge string of motorcycles just went by my house...they were going by for at least 15 minutes :D
 
You should tell eBay Customer Service about it--ASAP. Have them connect you to the department that handles NON-BIDDING-PAYER CLAIMS--and also ask to speak with the department that handles MISUSES OF THE eBay BILLING SYSTEM.

Clearly, the seller listed this cab. for auction on eBay with a starting bid price of $600.00--You bid $600.00 for the cab., in Good Faith, and won it--and, now the seller has send you a bill for the cab. for $1,460.00--which, basically, has an extra $860.00 added to the bill. :eek: The way I see it--the NEW BILL is more than DOUBLE the ORIGINAL BILL. :eek:

The eBay billing system is set up in such a way that failure to pay such a bill will result in your eBay account being marked with a NON-BIDDING-PAYER strike. And that will affect you ability to buy and sell on eBay for over a year.

Good luck.

Like ePain will care or do anything.
 
You can have an unpaid item strike on your account and you will be fine. As long as you are not a habitual offender (I think two in a month) your account will be fine. But it's just ebay. You can always create another ID. Better to take a walk from this transaction. By the way, there's a 20th on ebay for the KC area that looks just as good. It's asking 1200 with no bids, perhaps you can work out a deal. Some sellers are willing to negociate price and not be a prick.
 
My eBay account got jacked up by one eBay seller a while back.

About a year ago, one eBay seller was auctioning a whole bunch of MVS carts-individually on eBay.

The seller wrote in each MVS cart. listing, in two locations, that he would combine ship--if anyone won more than one of his eBay items. So, I won multiple MVS carts from the eBay seller.

Right after the auction ended, I asked for a new eBay invoice that reflects the combine shipping total--so I could pay for the eBay items that I had won right away; however, the :eBay seller re-invoiced me, for each cart, at the individual shipping rate. And, when i politely asked the seller to correct this over sight, he filed multiple no-bidding payer claims against my eBay account--and won each one automatically.

What's a real pain about having multiple non-bidding payer strikes is that. now I have to ask each :Bay seller, with high auction standards, for permission to bid on their eBay auction items, because eBay automatically cancels my auction bid(s)--unless the seller allows me to bid. The ridiculous part is that the :eek:Bay Customer Service reps still want me to call the seller and make things right with the seller so he can drop the strikes from my account. (I hate call center teleprompters.) Yeah, right.

The good thing is that, not too long ago, I found out from another eBay seller that I can appeal these strikes with another eBay department and have these removed and, also, eBay is supposed to automatically remove these strikes after 18 (?) months.

I still need to contact eBay and see if I can get these strikes removed. They're a hassle.

Why don't you just make a new account and use that for the next year or so? It must be easier than going thru all that phone tag with ebay.

Hard to fault the guy for being honest and playing by the rules....

One question for tyranix95 though: WTF is a "non-bidding payer"? :eek:
I'm pretty sure you mean "non-paying bidder". :D

Quite true, but when it comes to Ebay I could care less about rules, because they don't, unless it harms their immediate interest. I'm still sore from a recent fiasco with them. :)

I was wondering the same thing on the "non-bidding payer", but couldn't bring myself to point that one out. Wish I had more people just paying for things they never bid on. :D
