Hi Guys,

I have a moron buyer who decided he is not paying. He wanted to negotiate shipping and sent his final offer this morning (his wording). So he is not paying which I already knew yesterday. Ha Ha! I wanted to send the second chance offer to the next buyer. Now I can't file the NPB till 7 days has passed. Will sending the second chance offer now cause me any problems filing the NBP? By the time I wait out the 7 days the other bidder may not want it.

You can send the second chance right away.

It can also be used when you have more of the same item to sell.

But don't hold your breath. I would guess that second chance offers are ignored 99 times out of 100 times.

You can send a second chance offer 10 weconds after the auctions closes if you wish - it is a seconf auction and the final resolution of the orignal auction are irrelevent to ebay (remember - you could just have multipes as far as they are considered.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

I do second chance offers all the time. I probably have a 80% success rate. I would send it asap and do your NPB FVF process on the first scum bag and neg the hell out of him.

I have done a second chance only twice and both times they were accepted, but I suggest you send it right away before they give it a second thought. What happened with me when I bid on an item and lost I knew the buyer probably had more of the items so I waited for a second chance offer. It didn't come for 2 1/2 days and by that time I found the same product for less money and more product. If I had received that second chance offer right after the auction went off I would have accepted it.
