I was bought! A NPB payed me $50 to remove their FVF from ebay. It amazes me what people will do. They don't pay, they don't get their item, they get negged, they get a warning, they get booted. Then they turnaround and plea and beg for mercy. They offered me $50, then the offered me $100. I thought $50 was good enough. They are still hanging by a thread. One slip up and they'll be back where they started and they know it.

I'd pay $60.00. My garage needs painting.

So you sold out for $50.00 so this buyer can continue grief for some poor other seller(s)?
And then bragged about it! Is that what I am seeing here?

Maybe you could come over and paint my house. I have fifty bucks. I can send it PayPal. Heck, I will even pay the overpricecd paypal fees.

Before you jump to accuse me of letting a deadbeat back into the ring, let me just say... They had over 3400 positives, and just a few negatives. By the looks of it, they made a few mistakes over the last few years, and over time it caught up to them and they were suspended.

I don't think their intentions were to screw people over, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. I couldn't imagine doing it for someone with little feedback, mostly negatives, etc... unless they paid me $100

I do think I will start charging a fee to handle these though. It makes sense. They wasted my time, wasted my money. If someone was desperate like this one, then they simply should pay you for the inconvenience of trying to collect, email after email, time, fees, etc. We don't sell to not make a profit.

Lucky you, I get deadbeats begging for removal of FVF & most never even offer to pay for the item they "forgot" about.

Possible TOS!(Boiler plate)
Dear winner
please Oh, Please read below!
Due to the many requests I receive, PLEASE don't pay for your item as later, upon your request and for $150.00, paid in advance, I will remove your Negative Feedback report from Ebay.
Of course you could pay as normal and I could ship as normal and we both could be pleased as normal, but why be normal?

dac- great idea!!! the sarcasm is brilliant.

I am guessing that 50% of my negatives I have are from Canadians who don't read the TOS and then flake. Perhaps it is all the hockey and drinking beer that impairs their visual comprehension.

It also amazes me how many International bidders bid without reading that I don't accept Paypal for International shipments. My TOS and End of Auction information clearly states I accept Western Union Auction Payments and Money Orders Only. NO PAYPAL! I would say that 80-90% never read it, then attempt to pay using Paypal only to get rejected. Then comes the emails, statements like, "if I knew you didn't accept Paypal, I wouldn't have bid." Hello!!! Read the TOS before you bid.

I have said this for years now and it still holds true. The only international bidders I ever have a problem with is Canadians.

I found that to be true as well about Canadians- What is wrong with our nearest neighbors- I think they suffer from customs shock and it makes them nasty=
