Who else is pissed about ebay's no negative feedback for buyers policy????

[brianborsch]

This totally sucks! I have a deadbeat bidder who will simply get to walk away after being "legally binded" and refuse to pay. I just bid on an car at a $50,000 bid and am planniong on not paying. Sure I'll get a "strike" mark on my acoount. But thats just a warning. It doesn't limit my account any. The seller will be pissed and hopefully enough people complian so that ebay brings back the negative feedback! Who's all with me?

I don't like it, but the non-paying bidder form will fix them in the long run.

The typical problem are the bidders with no feedback that get their *$&^@ off by screwing with sellers.

Oh, I forgot to mention, use the cancel a bid option for anyone you don't feel comfortable with. You can't use this of course if it is a last minute bid.

If it is a "binding contract" you could take them to court right? The problem is that it isn't worth it for a few hundred dollars. In your case, it may be worth it for the seller who has you on the hook for $50000 so be careful. I do understand your point though.

It won't get to $50,000, but it is already at $11,000 with 5 days to go. It might end up at $15,000 or so. I ain't paying because I ain't got the money. I just hope to piss off the buyer to stir things up with ebay. It is such a dumb policy.

Maybe the guy who bid on your auction was trying to prove the same point.....hmmmmmm

Then I must support my fellow man and share the wealth of their awesome no negative feedback policy!

[brianborsch]

We'll see. I may retract the bid. I am just pissed that a company can be so stupid to pass such a dumb process.

AWESOME IDEA

We'll see. I am curious how far the seller will take it it is just for $15,000. A lawyer can get expensive. A good experience indeed.
