You can:\n\n1. File a complaint with ebay for non receipt of items. File your dispute for Non Performing Seller \n2. Leave a negative feedback\n\nHere are the rules for non-performing sellers\nhttp://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/seller-non-performance.html\n\n------------------------------------------\nViolations of this policy by a Seller may result in a range of actions, including:\n\nListing cancellation\nLimits on account privileges\nAccount suspension\nForfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings \nLoss of PowerSeller status \nReferral to Law Enforcement \n------------------------------------------\n\nIf the buyer complains, they can lose money if their account gets suspended. Or they are no longer allowed to get refunds when they cancel a listing. And the biggest ouch is losing the powerseller status, if they are a powerseller. \n\nBut sellers are allowed to explain their side, so they better have a good explanation and the buyer has to prove the case. If it is not the fault of the seller -- e.g. buyer never received item because item was lost by the Post Office, the seller will not be slapped by ebay (though the buyer can leave negative feedback)\n\nBut if you mean ebay will get the money paid by the buyer from the seller, no, that does not happen.

If I understand correctly - after not receiving payment for an ebay item you sold, and going through the procedure, you then got the late money order.  So you either have been paid twice, or you have the item and the payment. Is that right? \n\nAnd you are wondering if Western union or USPS could "get you" for casing the money order.  The answer is "No."  It isn't their problem.  If the situation is as you described, the person who sent you the money order could legitmately "get you" i.e., sue, attempt to get Ebay to do something -- but Western Union etc don't have grounds to do so.  And I suppose the guy who sent the order won't know that you eventually got it.  So feel free to pocket it, if your conscience is no problem.

if you pay with pay pal or check or moneyoreder  it will be easier to report (becaseu you have proof) with cash it will be harder,.....when you look under what you've won and look under contact seller there is also item not received then you can follow the directions\n\n\nBuyers can open an Item Not Received or Significantly Not As Described dispute between 10 and 60 days after the transaction date (the date when the listing closes and the buyer commits to buying the item and the seller commits to selling it). When opening a dispute, the buyer indicates whether the item was not received or whether it was received but significantly not as described.

it's a scam DO NOT SEND THE ITEM. report everything to ebay you will not get the money if you send the item! In future be wary of any buyer who wants you to ship to africa and don't circumvent the checking out service

not through ebay, if that is your question.  when they ask you to send the money and they will wire you the money or whatever, you send it out to them before the bank realizes the money is no good and takes it out of your account so you have no money and no product.  i would be very careful.

That is something you get to decide.\n\nOnce the item as been "sold", you are responsible to contact the buyer and arrange payment.  Most common method is a money order.  The buyer purchases the money order for the amount of the sale (shiping, etc) and sents it to you.  Then you mail the item.  Recommend you NOT take presonal checks as they can bounce, while a money order will not.\n\nOr you can set up a PayPal account.  When you set up an account, you give PayPal the information for your bank account.  When the deal of completed, the buyer contacts PayPal and has them transfer the sale price from their bank account to yours.  So as the money shows up, you ship them the item.  There is a small fee (something like 3%) to use PayPal.

you can repost the item and if you file a form with ebay (its on their site) you wont get charged the fee they take for selling the item.

if you use paypal, which is so easy i'd recommend it, usually upon check out their address will be e-mailed to you.  \n\nif you are accepting other forms of payment just simply ask the buyer for his or her address.  if mailing you a check or money order don't send your item out until after you have received payment.  also, the address will probably be on the envelope that you get your payment in.

You are protected with paypal, You can always claim your money back if you don't receive the item, always look at the persons feedback to see how reliable they are, buy low value items ie 99p to get the expereince of trading!! \n\nvisit www.moneysaving.com and look in the ebays board...... there is loads of help there - I am a board advisor :)

The only time you pay fees to Ebay is after you list an item for sale and/or sell something.  Ebay gets a small fee for the listing and a small percentage of the sales price.  If the buyer uses Paypal, Paypal also gets a small piece.  Altogether, the seller ends up losing 6-10% of the sale to Ebay/Paypal.  \n\nIf you purchase an item on EBay, you should never have to pay a fee.  \n\nThere are a lot of email "phishing" scams sent out by people pretending to be from EBay requesting your credit card number and personal information.  If you are paying these "fees" in response to such an e-mail I would cancel your credit card and check with Ebay to verify whether or not the fees are legit.

You should file an "Item Not Received" complaint with Ebay.  If you paid for your MP3 player through PayPal, also file a dispute with PayPal so that your money will be refunded to you.

yes, not sure about the specifics but you have to pay an insertion fee, if you do a "buy it now" you pay a fee if someone uses it...etc.  ebay has specials once in a while for sellers, sign up with them and they'll email you when they have it.

Especially since eBay bought PayPal......... \n\nHere's the order of your transactions:\npay eBay for the listing, \npay eBay a percentage of your final price when someone buys your item, \npay PayPal when someone sends you the money and \npay PayPal again to print a shipping label\n\nNot to mention that if you don't want to disclose your bank and credit card info, they won't let you use the money that's in there....unless you ask them to send you a check.which, of course, they charge you for!

If you tell them the item was sold as is, two things may happen.\n1. They may lodge a paypal complaint if they paid by paypal. \n2. They will probably give you negative feedback.\nIf you are not too worried about either one do nothing.\nYou can offer a refund to them, less postage and listing fee. But you will only refund on receipt of your Kirby in exactly the same condition as it was when it left your house. You also should tell them, that the return postage is also not refundable. If they agree, then refund them when you get your kirby. If the kirby is not the same or condition, remember to take photos, of it because you have the photos from your auction to compare. Keep all your documentation regarding the auction as well. I think either way you go you will get a negative feeback especially if the refund doesn't go down well.

SOMETIMES BUG IN THE SYSTEM DELAYS PAYMENT AND SAYS PAYMNET PENDING AND THE SELLERS PANIC AND CANCEL PAYMENT AND IT SAYS TRANSACTION CANCELLED. I HAVE DONE IT MYSELF A NUMBER OF TIMES ALTHOUGH THE ACCOUNT WAS AVTIVE AN DLOTS OF MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT. IT HAPPENS BUT IF BUYER SELLER HAVE PATIENCE THEN THIS COULD BE AVOIDED

From experience, Sellers don't leave feedback until the buyer leaves a feedback.  this is so unfair.  It happened to me twice after buying merchandise from a popular online auction site.
