It happened to me, as a buyer, several times. Again, it seems I can't stand PayPal and refuse to use it. When a seller lets me just send them payment via snail mail, Ebay has heart failure. In fact, they should be whining shortly...

I haven't auctioned anything on eBay for a long time, but I still occasionally sell something from my eBay store. Several weeks ago I sold a poster, the buyer paid for it, I shipped it, he was happy with it and that should have been the end of that.

Now, yesterday EBAY opens an 'unpaid item case' against my buyer, what the hell is the matter with them? The case was opened by EBAY, I had nothing to do with it.
To close it down again, I had to mark the item as 'paid'.

I cannot believe that they now start pestering my buyers with this nonsense. What is this? Do they want me to fall in line in and give them all the 'extra' information they want? I should note, that the buyer had paid by wire transfer, NOT through Paypal, so there was no 'payment received' information in Big Brother eBay's files.

Below is a copy of the eBay message. I deleted all personal information, but the message is indeed from eBay.

Has this happened to anybody else yet?

An unpaid item case has been opened
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi filmposter.net,
We opened an unpaid item case for XXX and we notified the buyer. If their payment isn't received within 4 days, you'll get a final value fee credit and the buyer will get an unpaid item recorded on their account and can't leave feedback for this
item.
