Your Opinion

[Calg5]

I am wondering if some of the members can give me an opinion on a e-bay transaction. I recently listed some IC's on e-bay now relisted.

After the purchase, the buyer just informed me that I must make sure that the legs are free of solder and that the chips are in good condition as otherwise they lose value. Where did I go wrong? I nver implied that these were collectible.

You did nothing wrong.. idiot buyer

looking at the previous auction.. the winner was sort of a newbie gold recovery guy.

They often overbid.. thinking the next highest bidder wont be so high

When they see the final price.. they decide it is too much and decide not to pay

just look at his bid rectractions
Bid retractions: 8
Bid retractions (6 months): 19

personally once he put his first bid.. i would of cancelled it and blocked him from further bidding

on this current auction.. I would note item is relisted due to non paying bidder.
so when they look back at completed sales.. they dont just think you are using same pic for a different auction

on current auction.. I would keep a watch on current bidder

when others start bidding and he starts retracting bids.. i would block him

other buyers are less inclined to put their maximum bid in when someone else bids over them and then retracts

idiot buyer, block them from further bidding, your auction was VERY clear as to what you were selling and the condition

Can also report them to ebay as a non-paying bidder
