Should I block an ebayer for an order cancellation?

daeve · 07-09-2018, 07:54 PM

Granted, better than shipping and then getting a return request, but this was within 20 minutes of me accepting.

Hi there. I sent you a cancellation request. I thought I had enough funds to clear in my PayPal but was mistaken.
If it's still available in a week, I may still be interested. Sorry for the inconvenience.

He sent that a minute after requesting to cancel. I'm leaning heavily toward blocking because he just doesn't seem like someone I want to deal with in the future, and it looks weird that he doesn't have funds considering he sold a $1k+ Curry card not long ago and my item was only $62.

Block at your own discretion, but it sounds like an honest mistake resolved in a timely manner.

If it was an auction then bring out the pitchforks, but I'm assuming it was a BIN since you said you "accepted".

I would block him unless you cant wait to hear his excuse the next time

The guy can't afford $62 everyone should block him so he can stop wasting his money on cards.

I’m a stay at home dad and I currently don’t have $62 to spend on cards. His finances are his business and there could be a number of reasons to why he doesn’t have the money AT THIS TIME.
As another member already said he was honest and open and made a mistake and resolved it very quickly, I think I could give him a pass on this one.

rittdk01 · 07-10-2018, 03:40 AM

^^^^the guy has NO BUSINESS buying cards if $62 breaks him.

Yes, but maybe you should check your funds before going back and forth on a trading card on eBay. It’s like going to a grocery store, having them scan and bag all your items, and then saying, “Oops forgot my wallet.” and then leaving the store.

Totally agree with you. I always check my finance’s. It’s happened to me now numerous times a buyer bidding on my auctions then either coming up with an excuse of why they can’t buy the card or no contact/payment at all after they win. Control your impulses people or check your finances and just don’t assume you can afford everything.

Do you think you should block him?

Follow your own path based on what YOU think is right.

Agree with this.

SH*t HAPPENS!

I would rather him cancel before you shipped than wanting to return after he gets it. Would cost you more time and money. An angry paying bidder can be far more of a headache than one who does not pay or you happily cancel.

It should be your own decision not the decision of others as to what you do.

messier2 · 07-10-2018, 10:57 AM

I block all that request cancellation or do not pay. My simple rule.

$4000 and note that says you're going to miss her?

boomshakalaka1130 is the username for those who want to block. I'm still undecided. Less mad about it now than right when it happened though.

Kardbordkrakhed · 07-10-2018, 10:16 PM

Just a quick cancellation story;
A few months ago I had a guy purchase something from me and almost instantly messaged me with a request to cancel. I didn’t hesitate and canceled the order immediately and relisted the card. The “buyer” left me positive feedback even though he didn’t buy the card.
