Mzungu71 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Evening all, just wondering if anyone know's how you go about getting your fees back if the dumb ass who bids for your item wins and doesn't cough up? I'm pretty sure this is what's happened although it so far has only been 24hours, but no response to messages and the winning bidder has no previous on evilbay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 You open a case with ebay 4 days after sales completed.. They then wait a bit for the buyer (not) to respond, then you close the case and they credit you the fees... The bit to remember is that you have to close the case....

markstuk Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 I find that really helps encourage them to bid [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='1023893' date='Nov 14 2010, 08:21 PM']Tried putting an abusive message directed at your watchers in the item description.[/quote] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was all very civilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
