    Default Do people get their thrills out of doing stuff like this

    I listed a few of my old DE razors for sale on ebay in the last few weeks. I had a bloke buy a couple and then asked me to hold them as he wanted to bid on some more that I had just listed. Sounded reasonable to me. In the end the buyer won 5 of my auctions. He's now MIA. I've sent him a few invoices and notes but he hasn't responded. It's now been a week since the last auction finished and I've heard nothing.
    Why do people do crap like this? Do they get a thrill out of ruining someones ebay sales. It just makes no sense to me. I just hope that ebay lists him with 5 lots of negative feedback.

    He could be in the Gray Bar Motel, the internet there really sucks.

    That sucks - sorry to hear that.
    I'm sure the same dude sniped me on the last 17 auctions I've bid on.

    Wow, hope he is just a deadbeat and not just... dead. Though not paying up, might make you want to kill him lol .

    That bites!

    That does suck so much.
    cause listing alot of the same items the same week brings in more bidders.

    I would report him to ebay and paypal w/ 5 seperate no pay no responses, should be enough to get his account shut down I would think.
    Mastering implies there is nothing more for you to learn of something... I prefer proficient enough to not totally screw it up.

    What is his feedback record like ? The last couple of years sellers cannot leave negative for deadbeat buyers but the overall track record of positive completed transactions should indicate whether he is bogus or for real. Hope he finally comes through for you.

    A lot of Werry Swenge people out there.

    Some people get their Jollies in funny ways. I used to sell watches a good bit and I'd put a Buy it now price on and some dude (almost always from one of a few select countries in S.E Asia like Indonesia for example) would Buy it now closing the auction and then they would simply disappear.

    I got thrils from just simply gathering up more stones and hones lol.
    But part of that is paying for them right away so they would get shipped right away.
