Online auction cancellation request
Hi everyone! It often happens to me that once the online auction is over, the buyer doesn't want to pay and asks for cancellation. Sorry, but is it possible that there is no protection for sellers, because I spend three euros every time to set the reserve price, then the auction ends and the person who won doesn't want to pay, asks for cancellation and, according to Ebay, I can't do anything except accept the cancellation and lose money and the sale. So then I should just go around winning online auctions at random, since I won't pay anyway and the seller gets screwed, what kind of system is that? The buyer who wins an auction should either pay for the item, since they won it, or face some kind of penalty from Ebay! Honestly, I'm tired of not being protected and constantly being screwed over by whoever wins one of my auctions. Basically 1 out of every 2 times I get screwed, is that even possible!?!

·2 years agoI've been putting only buy it now at a high price with an offer for a while now.....

No one can force anyone to pay... if you correctly cancel the purchase for non-payment, the buyer will receive a warning... the more they collect, the more complicated their presence on eBay will be, up to expulsion.
Kind regards.

OP2 years agoI get it, but practically one out of every two times I sell an item through auction, the buyer refuses to pay and I lose the sale, so I'm a bit annoyed because it's not like it happened to me once, it has happened way too often.

·2 years agoas Sika indicated......and as has been repeated many times by various users on the forum (including myself....) : if you don't want any more "hassles" of this kind, list items with "buy it now" with "immediate payment" ..... otherwise you have to put up with non-paying buyers......
besides, if you're able to judge the value of the items you sell, I don't see why you should "give away" eBay the fees for having entered the reserve price......
