Well, it’s happening again. Another cocksucker has been the high bidder on one of my Ebay auctions, then refused to pay. I’m an old hand at Ebay, but this shit will never cease to piss me off.  
What makes me super pissed this time is this fuck used the “Buy It Now” feature. Why the fuck would you use that if you’re not going to pay for the item? Because you’re a soulless cocksucker, that’s why. I am going to repost the item you won. In that auction ad I am going to post your full name, address, telephone number, and email address. I am going to do this in every ad I post on Ebay from now on. I’m going to make sure nobody ever sells or buys anything from/to you…EVER! And I will track you, just in case you change your user name! I know who you are, and I am your enemy. God forgives, I don’t! You might as well forget about using Ebay ever again! Fuck you! Fuck you for wasting my time! Fuck you for being you! Fuck you for being born!  
Now, stay the fuck off of Ebay!

🙂 Well! That made me feel much better!🙂 A good rant always does! Can you imaged how pissed I’d be if he owed me more than $10?😛

Oh boy, there’s that “cocksucker” word again - oh wait, thats [another thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=125626)

Sorry, I’ve had too many problems with the SELLERS on eBay to worry about the BUYERS. I gave up on eBay a while back after several dealings with dishonest, rude and downright criminal sellers.

Report them to eBay?? _ **HAH!** _ - like that does any good.

True. They don’t do much. Which is why I’m using my own revenge technique. Lucky I found out who the guy is!

I have never been ripped off by a seller! It’s the buyers who are assholes to me! And I’m I good seller. I take many forms of payment, including personal checks, and I have the package ready to ship so I can mail it the same day I receive payment.  
Theres no reason for anyone to fuck with me like this!:mad:

I did that once. I didn’t do it on purpose. I was trying to buy a gift for my huband, and then found out that it had become a choice between the gift and electricity. ☹

Still, on behalf of any one who ever unintentionally bid on an item that they couldn’t pay for, I’m sorry. ☹

I know you’re mad, but if you post this info, eBay will pull your auction. Then where will you be? Sill pissed, and no auction. ☹

Before this turned into YA-HomosexualityThread, I was going to gloat that I just got a copy of a impossibly rare english translation of a german book, with original dust cover.

I’ve been looking for this book for years, I even posted here hoping someone could help, and it finally showed up on my weekly eBay searches. I put a proxy bid in for $50.42. The final price: $1.30 plus $3 shipping.

I love eBay. It’s one of the killer apps of the internet.

Man, you just sunk your own ship. Didn’t you see the implosion that happened when I said “cocksucker”? Oh well.

If you’ve done it before successfully, it’s most likely because nobody reported it. As a seller, I can understand the frustration when people don’t pay up (_especially_ with BINs). But as a buyer, if I saw someone who employed that tactic, there’s no way I’d bid on their auctions.

Good luck.

Speaking as a cocksucker who occasionally uses EBay… 😃

Find out what he’s selling (if anything) and pull that same shit on him. Then pass the word about him. Believe me, word of mouth can be VERY effective at destroying a reputation. Besides, if he pulls that crap often enough, eventually word will get out and no one will accept his bids or buy from him anymore. That’s why my EBay stuff always includes a notice: **Only bid if you are SERIOUS and can pay within 24 hours. Time wasters, go elsewhere.** If the person turns out to be a time waster, I make note of the username and refuse to do business with said EBay troll (ETroll?) unless/until said troll apologizes and promises never to pull that crap again.

Yeesh. OK, OK, I’ll pay!

I just finished paying for a Yosemite t-shirt I bid on a few days ago. Things happened, I got distracted, and I forgot to pay. No word from the seller either, so it wasn’t as if I was getting any kind of reminder. (I certainly would have paid had I been reminded in any way!)

This thread reminded me. So, some good has come of it! 😃

Naw, I use c2it. It’s like PayPal, but backed up by an actual bank.

Their homepage is [c2it.com](http://c2it.com), and I’ve had a lot of pleasant experiences moving cash through them.
