eBay - What to do?
I put my broken PS2 (listing noted problem and that is was being sold as is) on eBay a week ago. Sunday the auction ended with a winning bidder. Winner paypal me with credit card funds (which I noted I only accept non-credit card via paypal), so I denied his payment. Today I get the following email:
Quote:
I didn't realize that this system is broken until tonite when I read the description. My roommate did the bidding on this without informing me of the fact it was broken. He evidently didn't read the entire descrition. I can't see paying for something that is broke. I'm sorry for the confusion. I can send Paypal to reimburse you for your listing fees if you'll email me the total.
What should I do? Should I be an *** or should I let him off the hook?

Charge him a re-listing fee of $15 for the trouble.

it doesnt cost any where close to 15 to post and item.
Tell him to give ya a few bucks if he would. If not its not really his fault. I mean he was prob the only what that bid on it, or you would have asked the next bidder if he wanted it because the guy backed out. What im saying is its gonna be hard for you to get someone to buy it i suppose. Unless its cheap. Get a few bucks so you can post it again...at least the guy offered to pay you something.

AFAIK, eBay will comp you back if the auction didn't work out. If that's the case, just let him off.... easier for everyone.

They have neutral feedback for a reason.

That depends on how nice you are. You made it abundantly clear in the auction description that it was a damaged piece. If he didn't pay attention and entered into a contract with you, then it's the buyer's fault, as far as I'm concerned. That makes the buyer liable for the full amount.
If you're feeling nice, you could get him to pay you at least the listing fees and re-list the item. That would be about $10 for EBay.
Either way I'd ding him with a negative rating, simply because he's supposed to read the details of any item he bids on. He obviously didn't do that.

I'd let him off, but give him negative feedback for not reading the description.

I filed an unpaid/final fee credit form. I have not decided if I will leave neutral or neg feedback. I also noticed that two other people bid close to the same amount, so I sent them a second chance offer.

I wouldnt leave neg feedback for that  not worth it really as he might give you the same just because he can. I just wouldnt leave any feedback.
After all its not like he didnt pay or he scammed you and he has accepted his mistake and offerd to pay fees.

well, depending on how much the guy paid for the item......paypal already took 3 % and ebay already took a percent......and with pictures that is close to $15...$15 is a bit higher.......but he also wasted your time for not reading

Im an intrepid ebayer, its my job and where i work daily so im doing it right now...
send him a non paying bidder warning after 10 days i believe
force him (eventhough he offered) to pay you the listing + final value fees and add on 2-5 dollars extra for the hassle. Otherwise tell him you will leave NASTY negative feedback, but only say that AFTER he has left you positive.
:P
