Non-Buying Buyers-check's in the mail? Yeah Right


It's amazing how often "buyers" tie up your item promising to "buy" but payment never arrives. They don't reply to emails. Maybe they have a similar item to sell or just like to "have fun" with you. But who cares why.We should come down hard on them. Be great have a way to post negative feedback for these NON-BUYING BUYERS or better yet, ban them. yours thoughts....

I second that motion Lolo. I've had an experience recently that had me waiting 1 1/2 weeks for my payment that should've taken 3 days even with regular. Fortunately, I was able to still sell the piece and move on.
i have a person who is a member here who has now committed to 3 pieces of gear here and each time has never sent payment. he is such an idiot that he always forgets who I am...the last time, I told him that before I sell him this piece of gear, I will need the funds for the 2 other things he committed to buy last year....needless to say, I never heard from him again...I assume I will in the future
Why not list in your email "agreement to purchase" some rules which you expect both of you to abide by? Payment must be recieved by xxx, or postmarked by xxx, etc.? This is basically what people do on eBay in the text of their auction. Then, if the cash doesn't arrive by that day, your ad is still valid.
feedback for incompleted transactions does not belong in the system at all. Loads it up with excess trivia & makes the whole thing useless.
