I have had 2 different bidders on Epier that will not respond to my emails. One of them bid on 4 of my auctions and won. The other bid on 1 and will not respond. I have sent over 4 emails to one of them, that ended on May 18 and have sent 4 emails to one that ended on June 16. I have had no response from the 2nd one at all, even though they just completed another transaction on there on June 21st! The bidder that won 4 auctions, the husband initially responded and said his wife was out of town, okay I waited a week and sent another, then he says she is in the hospital, so I wait a few days and send another and then another! Now I get no responses! I cannot leave negative feedback as I have no feedback there yet! I really seem to attract the bad bidders! What would you do? I sent CS a letter today regarding both bidders.
Edited to add:
Both of these bidders have positive on EBAY! One has 6 and no negative and the other one has 107 + and 1 -.

I didn't think you could post on Ebay unless you had a transaction with someone there. I just do not understand people who have + comments and then decide not to honor a bid that they placed. No one forced them to do this. It really pi**es me off!

Hi Deichen
Did I miss something? How come you can't post negative feedback for them? Because you have no feedback yet?
Do you think bidder #1 may have been out of town, had an accident or got sick and maybe died? Is she still bidding?
As for #2, well 4 emails from June 16 to June 22 is a whole lot of "where's my money."
Is she still bidding? I'd wait a bit on this one, then after another week, send a friendly reminder, then after 3 weeks send a final notice, then neg her if no response. I don't know how your EOA's read, but mine give my address. Lots of time bidders just send the money and never answer your emails.
Just some thoughts from this old bird.
Rustybore, you can't leave feedback unless it's transaction related on eBay. Most of us are thrilled with that if not just for the reason you stated here.

Hello, Mtnmama!
The first one from May 18 has not bid on anything else. The second one has paid another seller thru paypal and this auction ended after mine. I am leary of leaving feedback because if they retaliate, then I will just have negative! And probably won't be able to sell on the site anymore. On Yahoo, I always left negative if the bidder would not respond after a few weeks. My Congrats letter does contain my home address, so it might be possible that they are going to mail me payment but they did paypal their other transactions.

Rustybore, sweet thought, but it would never work
Deichen, something bad may have happened to bidder #1. I'd concentrate on bidder #2 who seems like she forgot or changed her mind.
This is an old worn out story, but I once had a bidder who had a car wreck the day she won my auction and I didn't hear from anyone until 2 weeks later when her sister found my email. She offered to let me relist, but I said I would wait. The girl was in a drug induced coma. She came home a month later and mailed me a money order. She was very happy I waited.
Remember, the morning I had my heart attack, I had won an auction too. I paid with Billpoint, but that was a freak thing because
I was going to wait til I got home from work. I shut off the computer, walked into the den and woke my daughter, telling her to call 911. Bad things happen sometimes.

relayerone --- HI! Well I have a serious side, and a whimsical side - not sure which side generates those "conspiracy theories" but with X Files now in rerun season, I gotta come up with something!
Don't even get me started on the upcomming postal rate change!
