eBay has a process that they like sellers to go through in these cases. Rather
than filing a non paying bidder alert, you can mutually agree to cancel the
transaction. You get the commission back but not the listing fees. The problem
with this is that the seller has to file the claim. On rare occasions you file
the claim but the buyer doesnt agree to cancel the transaction despite the fact
that they requested that in the first place. However, if the buyer is genuine
then it should be no problem to mutually agree to cancel the transaction.

At times, it may be a struggle to maintain "good business sense" with
compassion and empathy.
I don't doubt that you will be absolutely sure in making the decision that is
best for you and your business.

I just received this e-mail from an EBAY buyer who owes me for several items
he's purchased on the site:
I'M REALLY,REALLY ASHAMED AND TERRIBLY SORRY FOR TH? INCONVENIENCE I CAUSED
YOU,BUT PLEASE,I BEG YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
KARMA'S SAKE,TO CANCEL THE TRANSACTION OF THESE PARTICULAR POSTERS.I GUESS YOU
KNOW ABOUT THE FISCAL GREEK DEFAULT,THEREFORE,I'M EXTREMELY SHORT OF MONEY
RIGHT NOW.Yes,I "bought" THESE items,BUT PLEASE,I BEG YOU to forgive me for my
foolish compulsiveness.I'm an honest (not a fraud) buyer but in this case,the
situation is far beyond me.SO,PLEASE,SHOW SOME OF THE LENIENCY OF YOUR SOUL AND
UNDERSTANDING.It just only happened once to me,so please,do not report any
complaint to eBAY.I beg for forgiveness.I'M JUST A HUMAN BEING (LIKE all of
us),THAT UNWITTINGLY got "carried away" with bidding for items I couln't
realise,at that time,(that ultimatelly,I wouldn't be able to afford to
pay).Send me an invoice with your eBAY fees for listing those items & I wiill
immediately send you all your expenses via PayPal.God Bless and thank
you.Dimitris
My instinct is to handle this situation by the book and marking the items he
hasn't paid for as Unpaid Items on EBAY and let the chips fall where they may.
Any thoughts on this from fellow MOPOers? I've never had something like this
happen to me on the site.
Thanks for any suggestions, Channing Thomson
