Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

Almost won that 20s nutria. Guess it wasn't in the cards. Now I guess I gotta sit back, and watch those classifieds and hope a 20's pops up in my size!

I saw the list of bidders and was immediately saddened by images of Lily's blistered toes.

At least they won't go hatless.

Man, some of these prices are even getting high for the smaller sizes. I mean, almost $400 smackaroos for a size 7-1/8! Wow.

 

[alanfgag]

The high prices come and go. It only took two to tangle. Old hats in one of Stetson's highest quality levels can get some folks excited. Whippets seem to do that for others.

Is it just me, or is that the stingiest OR brim in existence? Love to have one of those with the more usual wide brim, but that one just looks odd to me. What do you think?

Had one from the estate of a close friend of my grandfather with barely a 2" brim if that.
A stingy Open Road that I got rid of rather quickly...

Has anybody ever had to file a non-payment complaint against a buyer? It has been 3 days since the auction ended and I have not received payment or a response to any of my messages. I plan on giving them some more time but it's starting to look like they are not going to pay. I have been on Ebay since 1998 and this is the first problem I have ever had with a buyer. I just want to know if it is a big hassle or even worth pursuing it.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question but I thought it was better than the general "Ask a Question" thread. Thanks.

It's not a big hassle to do. It's worth doing because you get your sales fees refunded from ebay and the bidder is marked as having not paid. If they get too many non-payment complaints against them ebay suspends them which prevents them from bothering other sellers.

Mike, what does their feedback look like?

 

[Landman]

Thanks. I'm not too concerned about not being paid because I still have the item but I don't want them to get away with it or do it to somebody else. I also don't want to rush to judgement either. I'd hate to file a complaint and they had some medical issue or emergency that prevented them from completing the transaction.

Randall,

Their feedback is a 100% with around 1300 transactions. The weird thing is their feedback is hidden. You can only see the totals but not what was said or the items. I've never seen that before and it seemed strange to me. It actually sent up a little red flag in my mind.
