Personally, I watched an ebay special on the news the other day. It explained that a guy on ebay accepted money for an item that he did not spend. In turn, the three guys took this ebay seller to court and won the decision. Why can't you do this as well?
I just don't see this thread as proactive in any way. Yes, you can pester ebay members and catch a few to help them. But explain this to me, how is this going to do anything for your case? Except take away a few sales off of Coug's list? Because in the end, it is ebay's fault that this is happening due to them not doing anything about it. There are other selling sites out there like ebay. Many ebay members themselves have dropped ebay and moved to other sites. Can't you guys collectively boycott ebay?

As paypal only covers you from a confiremed address and a tracked object then go down this path. Insist that this is the only method that you will ship there by covering yourself. Coug has forfited his right to recieve goods any other way off ebay as far as I'm concerned and makes it harder on the rest of the people who use this method of shipping.

I'm guessing, though I don't know for sure, that cougarrinard filed a non-seller report as he threatened as much.He can name me eBay Serial Killer of the Month but it's not going to make me ship him my collection.To those of you with experience in this matter: do I have any recourse here or do I just have to suck it up and take the negative impact on my account (if I do that's fine I just want to make sure I'm covering all bases)?Thanks
serleran wrote:Yeah, that whole "buyer doesn't get to pick shipping method" thing goes from pissing me off (since I'm a 100% buyer right now) to "maybe its not so bad" as a seller... it can work for you, especially since it "can include handling fees." So, if you charge $15 for the box, and another $30 for the packaging... if the buyer refuses to pay, well, tough.

Complete the transaction based on the terms that you listed in your auction.You do not have to ship your item according to the buyer's wishes! Buyers don't set shipping terms.Invoice they buyer for his purchase price including shipping via a traceable means and then the ball is in his court.If the buyer does not like the shipping. That's his problem and if he refused to pay, he then becomes a non paying buyer and you can file against him.EBay's rules can be used against him as easily as he uses them against everybody else.Just my thoughts
