Non-paying board member on eBay? What would you do?

[tommyfro21]

Looks like this may be happening to me. How do you guys feel about this when it is a board member? Do you treat the situation differently, harsher, easier?

Kind of frustrating because I had an issue with the member once before and I let it go, for good reason. I passed on another offer to accept his, not knowing who it was, and it's not looking good. It's been 5 days, I've sent 2 invoices in case the 1st was missed by accident, even spoke with the member, & still no payment. No word either if the payment is coming.

Kind of curious what the deal is because I bought a couple cards from the member and I'm wondering if I will have to file Paypal in the end after all this.

I'm not trying to flame the person, but I guess I needed to vent some. How would you handle this?

I have no idea who you are talking about but its been 5 days. Chill out. If he doesnt pay in the next 10 days, file a NPB and see what happens. If he doesnt pay in the next 20 days post his userid here, so we can all blacklist him.

I'm cool, just asking questions. Just wondering if a trend is developing. I'll send you the name to see if you have heard about any other issues.

Who cares if he is on here or not. If he doesn't pay, leave negative feedback. Did you list a certain time frame that payment needed to be received?

Yes, I did. Got a couple more days, but nothing has been written back to me to lead be to believe it's coming either.

I have gotten into the habit of filing a Non-Paying Bidder as soon as I can. Sellers have almost no control over anything anymore, the least I can do is pressure someone into paying before two weeks.

That being said, I request payment within 5 days. I file a NPB after day 7. The buyer has almost a week to respond to the NPB, but I would rather be a week ahead, than a week behind.
