Ebay stuff - CEG Archives

I just sold stuff on ebay, and "Mcgainer" was the winner. He has been trouble on here before, what should I do?

The auction is complete. When (if) he pays you, send him his stuff! If you don't want his money you should have taken action before your auction ended.

(Jeez, what a question!)

Shoulda sold them to me.

Yet another reason I hate auction sniping (which I would not be surprised if he did).

just on principle alone you should not send him the stuff. sell it to the next highest bidder or someone here on ceg. then, put that douchebag on your blocked bidders list.

remember, if he pays by paypal he can always have his credit card company reverse the charges!! and this guy just might do that. OR, he is planning on using these parts to scam some more people. id avoid this transaction like the plague.

i'd eat a nice, big mexican dinner with lots of corn and nuts. let simmer for a few hours, then deposit contents from bunghole into a plastic box. ship, and enjoy.

Yeah, SVT490, you're in a bind with this, through no fault of your own.

Mcgainer is a real scumbag. No doubt about it.

But the point is, you do have a contract with him to deliver the items youâ�?��?�ve sold. In matters of integrity my knee jerk reaction is to say â�?��?always keep you word and honor your contractsâ�?�. Saves a lot of thinking and uncertainty to live that way.

However, this may be a special case. If your own inner moral compass tells you to not honor the auction for the reasons that svtizzle4stizzle brought up, then no one here should think less of you.

Just be prepared for a negative feedback if you do back out, and under the Ebay rules you will truly deserve it. Sad truth. Thereâ�?��?�s always a price to be paid for acting on principle against the established rules.

I know this doesnâ�?��?�t help, but if I were in your place, I would honor the contract and send him his partsâ�?�¦. UNLESS he has significant negative feedback. That combined with his known history here would tilt me the other way.

Can you please post a link to your completed auction?

Real bad luck for you that this ass decided to bid. I am curious to see how it turns out for you.

Am I the only one who thinks he should honor his contract and send the items after payment?
I understand there has been a lot of douchebaggery from this guy in the past, but when you sell on ebay, it's to the highest bidder, unless you use an approved bidders policy (which you have not done). Perhaps next time you should.

I hope this transaction goes well, but you have an obligation to finish your end of the deal. After that, be vigilant on not getting taken advantage of.

Just my .02

if you knew he was a scam artist or whatever you should have blocked him from the auction. Like it was said, you entered into a contract and after the deal is done, NOW you want to [censored]? THAT is not cool either. Wait till you get the money THAN ship - and for future reference block people you dont want to do business with.

No. Read what you quote.

he became the high bidder in the last minute, after the auction ended I thought I remembered reading something on CEG about him so I just did a search for his name on here.

Sniped! I knew it. Figured he'd be the type.
