Thread: 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.

Maybe he died?!

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.

Send me some pics. I collect.

I had this happen to me this summer with an item I was selling.
I made it clear that payment was due within 48 hours. Fellow didn't pay up so I sent several messages giving him an additional 96 hours to contact me with a date I could expect payment and if not I would sell the item to someone else and open an unpaid item claim against him and any funds sent would be immediately refunded.
Never heard back so I did a second chance offer to the next highest bidder and opened my claim.
Two weeks later he emailed back asking me not to sell it to someone else. I told him it was too late and didn't hear back from him.
