The car is only at $5000 with an end of tomorrow. Good deal at this price!!!

[Marina66SS]

So after 7 days and 4 emails that the buyer ignored me, he shows up this morning. Then points out some flaws that are clearly written in my auction and offers me $500 less than the winning bid or he'll pass! Can he even do this through Ebay? We argued a little and settled on $200 less than the auction bid just so I could get the car sold. Pissed me off though. What is your guy's thoughts?

If the final bid price was too much for him to pay then tough, he should not have bid.
I would contact ebay asap! He won the bid, he has to pay... not Or Best Offer...

[Marina66SS]

I agree. I told him that I didn't have much simpathy for him since he was high bidder for 7 days and only lives 100 miles away. He had plenty of time to drive down and look at the car before bidding.

Here is Ebay's response.

Unfortunately, since you agreed to accept the lower price, there is
nothing that we can do. I recommend leaving appropriate feedback.

Thank you for your time.

This is crap. The only negative feedback I have ever given, the guy gave me negative also just because I did so I know this guy will do the same and said so. So this is the deal, I give him negative, he gives me negative. What will probably happen though is that I will not leave him any and he will do the same.

If he refused to pay the amount he bid you could have reported him to Ebay as a non paying bidder. When you accepted a lower offer you changed the deal so you can no longer do that.

[Marina66SS]

Sure I could have turned him in, not have a sale and Ebay would tell him not to do it again. That's it. You have to get so many complaints like this before Ebay will suspend your account. I knew that so I knew that if I didn't make the deal I would get nothing and neither would he.

I'd either leave him a neutral feedback and list what he did in the feedback or email him everyday to give you positive feedback and then leave him the neutral or negative feedback.

[Marina66SS]

Your last thought is probably the one I am going to do.
