eBay Headaches

I have seen this three times in the last 30 days.

It funny you mention this as that same thing happened to me for the first time a couple of days ago. The buyer did fix the payment and went through, but I guess it is something new now.

I clicked on the buyers profile and there was no way for me to contact him. Three times in a month from different buyers. It is very odd

Maybe people are going around putting in limited gift card or prepaid credit cards so they can bid or make offer on things and they run out of credit on purpose so they can just review all the offers they’re blasting out, etc.

This sale is getting cancelled right? I’ve never had this happen before


EDIT: Yep, just got the cancel, surprised it took him 20min. Why not just say you screwed up the offer?

Tell them they’re too broke to be buying comics and should save the money they apparently don’t have
 :wink:

I just had a guy send multiple (auto rejected) offers of $100 followed by a $175 (auto rejected) offer for my Hulk 340 Newsstand (VF) signed by McFarlane.

I’d add screen shot but the forums say I can’t embed media items in a post.

What browser are you using? Firefox has a pretty neat feature that lets you right click on an image and copy it. Then you can just paste it into the forum without saving the image to your computer or uploading it to an image host. You can take screenshots that way too. Great for people who has trouble posting images.

It’s not the browser, trust me.

I get tired of the “What’s your best offer?” people. Like keep making offers and you’ll get there, champ.

I get tired of the people who message me with offers when I specifically make my listings as buy it now without the offer feature activated. If I wanted offers, I’d have it set up that way. I don’t even reply back anymore.

Turn it right around
”what’s YOUR best offer
?”

When people ask me, “What’s the best you can do?” I usually use it as an opportunity to upsell. I’ll tell them the least I’d normally accept
and then add if I have multiple copies of that comic or other comics they might like the lowest price dips down a little lower the more they buy. “It’s $20 at least for A, but if you also buy some B and C, then everything is just $14 each.” It has worked enough times for me that I consider it a good strategy.

I learned long ago, when going into negotiations, never be the first one to throw out a number. Let the other person be the first.
