*JMHO* - to be taken with a grain of salt!
Sorry Jeff, I don't know if this exists on .ca
I have used it on some bigger ticket items on .com listings and it has worked well.
They either pay immediately or move on.
Only works for BIN auctions or Fixed price items.
Congrats on your new PS'er status and hope to see you on the board frequently. I'll be the guy whining over in the corner. :<)
Cheers!

Hi Jeff and welcome! I'm in BC so it's still only mid-afternoon here. About the negs, I can't help -- I'm in a collectibles niche market and have known most of my buyers for a zillion or so years. They wouldn't dare not pay! In fact, I really know most of them well enough that I just send their purchases as soon as the auction is over. I think I've had a total of 2 NPBs in the 3 years I've been selling on eBay - I filed the NPB & FVF, and negged 'em both! The both wrote and apologized but they didn't neg me back - they just didn't leave any fb at all.
Again, welcome, Glenda

Jeff, don't think about negs. Do what you can to be a good e-tailer. That's all any of us can do.
There will also be the small percentage out there that will make your life a hell but you need to focus your energies on the 99.9% that make eBay a good marketplace.
For all the griping you may hear on the PS'er board (including from me) it is always important to remember that it is only because we enjoy this venue and want it to remain the fun place we have experienced and know it can be.

,,,all I can say is:
if you do NOTHING else, file for your FV fees back. That's the ONLY thing that gets bad buyers off of ebay. Do yourself and your fellow sellers a favor.

jhongs, eBay Trust & Safety will remove the negs in all liklihood but it takes them 3-5 days to respond to PS'ers or to investigate.

Welcome to the board Shooger! I'm also from BC -- Victoria and also registered (and do all my listing) on the .com site. They all seem to be interchangeable!

First off - get to your friend and tell him to run, not walk, away from that deal. It is a classic scam that is being run by account hackers.
I'm gonna guess that your friend bought a reasonably high priced item (usually electronic in nature) and that the buyer wants payment by money order only.
As for your situation, where is the buyer? Unless he can show that he has made payment for a valid eBay auction I would explain to him that his beef is with eBay and not with you.
Good luck!
