Buyer did not pay full amount

mdb92951 · 01-07-2008, 08:04 PM

Last week we sold 3 cards to a buyer

Card 1 - 46.00
Card 2 - 00.99
Card 3 - 04.25

Subtotal 51.24
S&H 4.00 (3 for 1st card plus .50 for each additional card)

Total 55.24

Saturday I get a Money order for 49.00 stating it was for all 3 cards. Sent him 2 e-mails requesting the rest of the money and I would ship them when received. I haven't heard back from him.

Is this something that I can report to e-bay?

What other course of action can I take?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

If you don't hear from him in a couple of days, I would send him card #1 for $46 plus the $3 shipping which equals the $49 he sent you. Make a copy of the money order, and request the rest of the money before sending the other two cards.

That's just me though. Good luck!

I'm off to watch the game.

Uncombine the 3 items in your ebay and send him the 1 card and send him an invoice for the 2 other cards. If he doesn't pay you can file an NPB. That $49 may be for card #1. He may have sent you three different payments and the other 2 haven't gotten there yet.

He included a copy of the invoice (which was for all 3 cards) with his payment and a note saying it was for all three cards.

well he said they're for all 3 cards so I'd say you just keep sending him emails or you could get his info and give him a call ..... however he has not paid the correct amount so no way I'd sent the 3 cards I know that ....
the suggestion of sending the 1 card that would cover the price is'nt bad but that still does'nt help you with the other 2 ....
I'd just keep emailing him and sending him a email direct and 1 thru ebay as well ....

I really like timbo's response. Keep us informed as to how this turns out. Will likely help one of us out in a similar situation later.

if a buyer sends less than the total amount due, i treat that as a NPB and file it as such with eBay.

Before you cash that M/O, see if he wrote down something to the effect that the M/O was for all three cards/auctions in the "memo" or "for" section.

Here is why: By endorsing the check, your accepting his offer and might not be able to dispute it for the other cards & S/H.

But I would take the others advice and make a copy (front and back) of the M/O. If you have a scanner, you might want to scan the M/O and save it on your computer..just in case.

I hope you get the rest of your money,
