I get a few of these a month anymore, people wanting me to contact [email protected] and to write "excuse bidder" on the email.

give me a break, if you are now NARU'd for non payment that means that you have at least 4 under your belt, the latest is for an item from April 1999. the guy say that if I write to support and forgive him he will send me monies to pay for what it cost me to list the item after he is reinstated.

If you didn't pay for the auction, and only wanted to make it right after ebay kicked you out over 2 years later like I want to unleash these people on a bunch of other sellers.

I've said this a dozen times ebay needs to have another number on the feedback, one that the seller can check to know that they are actually recording this stuff and that is the number of them they have backed out of an auction. It's too much for us to be expected to wear a retaliatory negative feedback just because these people don't pay when ebay could make the mark against them themselves. It's time for a administrative feedback, a big yellow mark that says I don't like to pay for what I bid on and ebay has refunded fees for X number of auctions that have not completed.

Well anyway, I still have one of these and I have the winning bid amount, so how about current shipping fees, storage, cost of the auction, and interest at say 10% from April 1999, and a small handling fee?

You better edit out those auction numbers before the auctionwatch police get you.

I have one too right now who keeps emailing and is upset because "I" got her suspended. However, I'm just the 4th seller who filed for a final vale fee credit. What bothers me is that she says EBAY told her she was suspended because of me!!

Kathryn, those auctions just ended yesterday with BIN. Can you give the seller a couple of days before you smear her please?

eBay recommends 3 days for contact either way.

Have you emailed her?

It would benefit you to edit out those auction numbers before the moderators see them. The guidelines here are very specific as to not posting auction numbers.

All I can say is it takes all kinds.

missspider,

Look at your keyboard. See the key that says "delete?" Use it next time she sends you an email. Don't even respond. She knows it was you because she knows you're the fourth person she stiffed. She also knows because ebay sent her a nonpaying bidder letter. She had 10 days to "work it out" and didn't. Ignore her letters or if you can, bounce them back to her.

My program allows me to have unwanted mail go directly to trash without me even knowing about it.

Airguy: April 1999 and looking for forgiveness and redemption?? Sounds like Bill Clinton.

I would tell him there is a line over which there is no redemption and he crossed it....
