Buyer hasn't paid for item on eBay?

Is there anything you can do when an ebay buyer who already has the item you sold but still hasnt paid?

  • Answer:

    The rule on ebay is you get the money and then and only then you despatch the goods. If you sent the goods by the Post offices Recorded Deliver/Special Delivery or by a courier then they will have a recipients receipt so you can, in theory, prove that the buyer has the goods. on the other hand if you sent them by standard first or 2nd class post or standard parcels then as those services do not get a signature you have no way of actually knowing or proving that the buyer has received the goods. Incidentally the Police will NOT be of any assistance at all, they have no way of knowing whether or whether not the person has the goods nor the resources to go knocking on peoples door where no crime has been committed or could be proved. If you did send by a 'signed for' service with a tracking number and they have a signature then you can open an ebay dispute.

You can try filing a dispute with eBay, but they're going to remind you that you are NEVER supposed to ship an item UNTIL YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN PAID.

That's impossible right? Because you never, never, NEVER ship the item until you get paid. Good luck but I think you are SOL.

Have you proof that they have the item? (recorded delivery/ signed-for upon receipt)? If not, then you are stuffed. if so, then you give them a last chance to pay (or return item) and then it's time to visit Mr Plod (obtainng goods by deception) .

You should never send the item until the buyer has paid! You can get in touch with ebay and tell them whats happened

Why send the merchandise to them if you have not received the money? However, you can contact the police, they will ask for papers, receipts, proof and it'll go from there.
