Fucking unpaying eBay cunts! I hate them! Sold Reading tickets to this woman about 3 weeks ago and about 10 minutes ago I get this email reading;
£30 does not make up for the price that we agreed (£400) which I now have to find TEN DAYS before the festival starts else I'm left with two very expensive pieces of paper. FUCKING BITCH!
Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest.

Anyone else had any non-paying issues with eBay people?
I am ssorry but the deaal is not going to happen.═ I was bidding for friends of my son and they said it was alright and they could go.═ Unfortunately, they forgot to ask their parents and theeeir parents have said no, so they do not want the tickets.═ I know this puts me in a very bad light, but I am really very sorry, you don't know how bad I feel.═ Can I offer you the sellers' fees - ё30.00 as way of compensation and the messing about that you have suffered.═ I have been honest and hope that you will understand.═ Kind regards, Sonia

Personally, I'd reply and tell them that £30 is NOT compensation. £400 for the tickets + £50 for late payment is compensation. £30 is an insult.
What the fuck? The bidder doesn't sound like it was intentional. Something of an overreaction to go all medievil on her ass.
The only poor showing here is that it took the woman 3 weeks to not pay.
Email her, demand payment! Damnit!! :thumb:
Maybe you could relist on a 3 day auction and claim back the listing fees as is possible - I believe - when the transaction isn't completed. Definitely take her up on the seller's fees (whatever the hell they are) which is a gesture even if it's not the £400 you were expecting and entitled to.
You buy something for less and sell it or more - how is that any different than the way many other businesses work?
And there's no 'thieving' involved.
Oh fuck you. And who exactly am I theiving from? I paid for them fair and square so I'm not thieving from Reading and I'm not robbing the buyers. They are not forced to pay my prices. The fact that they do so justifies my 'touting'.
I didn't buy up all the tickets. Just two. For me and Mrs. T but sadly Reading have deemed rock music a thing of the past and have neglected to actually put any on the bill this year. So we didn't really want to go. I've been to every Reading since '00 up til last year so you can cram that 'real music fans' crap.
She didn't pay for so long because we only live about 15 minutes away from each other and so she was going to pay cash when the tickets arrived. I can understand what she did as it was completely out of her control. Just wish she had asked the brats before actually buying the damn things.
Have relisted on a 3-day auction so fingers crossed. I left bad feedback but don't know what effects that will have if any.
I looked through the eBay rules and there's actually very little I can do to gain any form of compensation. Their grievance procedures only go as far as suspending and locking accounts. They can't actually send in the repo men sadly. In their eyes, I still have the item in question and thus can resell it. The listing fees are the only contentious thing and she will more than cover that with her £30. That the festival starts in ten days is neither here nor there for eBay sadly.
Just a pain in the arse that she's done this so close and didn't have the sufficient foresight to check that the little fuckers could go in the first place.
(This wasnt helpful)
hmmn maybe. Maybe she just wrote her email to sound like that coz she knew she was in the wrong for not paying. If I could still sel the tickets, I personally would take the £30 sorry and run... But, I can see why he's peed off- it's an auction, you bid then you gots to pay up.
word
to ya momma!
Obviously it doesn't apply if you had them on as a Buy It Now - unless anyone contacted you expressing interest. I'm sure there's info about it on the site, or someone else will know better.
Couldn't agree more.
Not that they give a fuck, mind, cause they get their money.
I'm almost certain touting is illegal too...
pfft...
Its their own fault (the rebuyer) for shelling out the overprices. Not the seller. Its a place of profit and supply/demand.
yes. and then i will buy them.
Despite what Kermit, Renzo et al. may say, until they make it impossible to tout tickets, I intent to continue to do so as to date, it has funded me quite nicely through uni. They're my tickets and I can do what I like with them.
