A buyer responds to the Unpaid Item process, but in replying to it the buyer does not express dissatisfaction with the seller or the item.

If you do, the seller can you those comments against you.

Stretch out the negs to make them really hurt. Also, give him the lowest ratings in all of the categories. Some people need pain in order to learn.

FormCritic wrote:In this case, the moral high ground would be to just pay and leave positive feedback. Then, write it off as a lesson learned.It is good basic policy not to bid if the seller does not give a firm shipping quote. On the other hand, some people are just too stupid to take mild hints...they need the full load of negative consquences to get the picture. I think this guy rates the full load.Also, I'm feeling mean and petty.

If Aneoth contests them, he will still eventually get the strike, but assuming the buyer(Aneoth in this circumstance) does not try and use the threat of negative feedback to get his way(i.e Feedback extortion), Ebay will not touch them. Feedback Rules"If the seller files an Unpaid Item dispute against a buyer, any negative or neutral Feedback left by that buyer will be removed if the buyer does not respond to the dispute before the deadline, and receives a strike."In other words as long as Aneoth responds to the NPB notices and tries to resolve the issue and does not come out and say you either do it my way only(which includes something not already promised by the seller) or I will leave you neagtive feedback, Ebay will not remove the Negs left by Aneoth.

Dear aneoth,hi aneoth, can i assume by your silence that you are not goiung to pay for these items? if that is the case lets bring this issue to a peacefull close and move our seperate ways. please let me know your intentions so we can finish one way or the other. pete - editdude00
MY SILENCE?! As I stated in my last response to your last letter to me (That was Yesterday afternoon) I wanted to think about your expensive shipping costs. I never had any problems with paying for your items. I have made it abundantly clear that it is YOUR outrageous Shipping and Processing/Handling cost (FOUR times actual shipping costs) that I have the problem with. Those auctions only closed three days ago, I will let you know later on what I shall do, have a little more patience please. BTW: The 48 hours to pay deadline blurb in your listings is not enforceable. You should drop your hard sale REA tactics on this one. Read the E-Bay non-paying bidder policy. While you are there please read the E-Bay Fee Avoidance section as well. All I want is a reasonable shipping cost. Once we have resolved that issue, payment can be made almost immediately. Best Regards, Aneoth
Actions that avoid paying eBay fees -- Selling fees help eBay support both buyers and sellers. Listing practices that circumvent (avoid) fees are unfair to sellers who pay the appropriate eBay fees and may provide a poor buying experience.Examples of listing practices that are not allowed on eBay include:Offering the opportunity to buy the listed item or other items outside of eBay.Offering low item prices but unreasonably high shipping or handling charges.Listing an item that requires an additional purchase.Including contact information (e.g., email addresses, domain names, phone numbers) in the listing title, subtitle, item location, or images.Listing an item where a seller allows buyers to choose from a selection of items.
Sellers may charge reasonable shipping and handling fees to cover the costs for mailing, packaging, and handling the items they are selling. While eBay will not prescribe exactly what a seller may or may not charge, eBay will rely on member reports and its own discretion to determine whether or not a seller's shipping, handling, packaging, and/or insurance charges are excessive. Shipping and handling fees may not be listed as a percentage of the final sale price.Sellers who want to be sure they are in compliance with this policy may charge actual shipping costs plus actual packaging materials cost (or less). In addition to the final listing price, sellers are permitted to charge:Actual Shipping cost: This is the actual cost (i.e. postage) for shipping the item.Handling Fee: Actual packaging materials costs may be charged. A handling fee in addition to actual shipping cost may be charged if it is not excessive. Insurance: Sellers offering insurance may only charge the actual fee for insurance. No additional amount may be added, such as "self-insurance". Sellers who do not use a licensed 3rd party insurance company may not require buyers to purchase insurance. This is a violation of state law. Tax: Only actual applicable federal, state, country, city, VAT, and equivalent taxes may be charged.For cross border transactions, sellers may not collect tariffs and duties. However, buyers may be responsible for actual, applicable tariffs, and duties as requested by respective country laws. Violations of this policy may result in a range of actions, including:Listing cancellationLimits on account privilegesAccount suspension Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings Loss of PowerSeller status
