Hi all,
I am not sure where this posting best fits. My apologies if there is a
proper place for this sort of message.
I would like to pose a question here before offering up the identity of this
user. I am looking for opinions on what is appropriate. I had a recent
auction. The person who won the auction decided to back out (in an un-polite
manner). This user's excuse was that shipping was too high. The funny part
was that the user asked for a shipping quote. He was given one while he was
early in the bid and did no retract it. After the auction he asked that I
offer a less expensive shipping method, which I did. The user still backed
out and will not return my email messages. He claimed that he was going to
buy it from Walmart.com instead. The issue I have with this person, is
mostly based on principle. If you are going to play the game on Ebay, then
you play it by the rules. A person bids, they are bound to a contract. My
rules are clear and the bidder is always requested to ask first before
bidding. Enough of the rant.
My question:
1) I would like to warn the Lugnet community about this person. What is
acceptable in terms of information? ebay username? email address? etc?
