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....

feedback for incompleted transactions does not belong in the system at all. Loads it up with excess trivia & makes the whole thing useless.
A good way to do things is to ask the buyer to send you an email when the check has been placed in the mailbox. This way you can find-the-flake in a narrower time window.
Just thought I'd mention that I experienced the opposite problem - I sent an international money order to Canada from California for payment for a big$$ CD player. The seller claimed he never received it. I belive him. Somehow, the payment would seem to have gotten lost in the mail. This was around the time of the terrible tradgedy last September, so perhaps that was somehow a factor - I can't see how, but perhaps with planes rerouted etc. Generally, I agree though - buyers claiming the check is in the mail when no check is received are likely more often than not lying.
