The Ebay effect

trainluver1, is corrrect. <br /> <br />I shop mostly on ebay and forming good customer seller relationships is a must. There are a list of sellers that I keep who often times have reasonably priced items. What I usually do is inform them prior to bidding about my payment plan. If I need more time than they specify and they have no problem with it they give me the okay some of them will even pull the item/s and reserve it for at the ‘by it now price’(if there was one to begin with). <br /> <br />I'm usually very sceptical about new sellers and never buy from any whose membership is suddenly terminated after you've won the auction. Yes that's right, I've won a Sony PSP form an individual and the following day the item was pulled from my ebay summary (this was done by ebay), I then did a check on the guy's profile and it stated in bold red letters that he was no longer registered with ebay. I sent an email to him asking what had happened because he had 20 postive feedbacks @ 100%, his reply was that for some reason ebay has suspended his account but my items are ready to be shipped as soon as payment arrives, I was not convinced by his reply so I did not send payment. A week later another buyer who apparently was tracking my auction emailed me asking if I've gotten a reply from the seller because they had sent him $200.00 for an auction they had won the week before I did mine and haven't heard from him since. Now if I hadn't follow my gut feeling I would have donated $250.00 to his ‘dishonesty fund’.
