Ebay none payment procedure

[Mzungu71]

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

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....

Tried putting an abusive message directed at your watchers in the item description.

The guy has now answered an email, but has yet to cough up

He has no idea what a bargain he got :-/

I find that really helps encourage them to bid

I decided not to go down the "abuse potential buyers" path, tempting as it sometimes is

True, but at least they don't charge.

Yet.

Has anyone actually sold anything on Gumtree?

I replied to a "wanted" ad, and sold an old guitar amp - does that count? It was all very civilized.
