Well here we go again, 0 score Sammers are back just for the Holiday season, Recently i saw a notice on ebay that they would let "Guest Buying" meaning no need to register
on ebay to buy, Kinda like shop & go. I think it's a nightmare for me who sells low end items Like Buckles. I been having a bad today with this 0 Score buyers, here is a quote from one EMAIL today on a $8.00 item & $4.00 Shipping "you have the # UPS tracking, I would like to search tomorrow.. thanks" Imagine that no brains UPS is like $30.00, next "I received my buckles and I am somewhat disappointed. The Skull buckle has scratches" Another Scammer, this one had a $38,00 order, I was so feed up that I just refunded the nut case, Next case, Now
This guy Paid Friday Night & as we all know there is no Mail on weekends here in Canada like the us.
"It's been 5 days since I paid for this item. You said you would let me know when you mail to me. I have heard nothing. I paid promptly and expect you to ship promptly.
Let me know what's going on" He Paid Friday Night and Today we are Tuesday. Next, Now this dude lives here in canada "Would I be able to receive this item in time for Christmas?" As you can see it's not my day with all this bull, these emails all came in at about the same time, before i left work i checked my EMAIL & 20 min. later got Home to print some labels etc. I got so upset that i took a power snooze for 2 hours. What really gets me I work so hard to Ship the next day and Pack my items well & you get hit in the face with this Boloney, and there all 0 score buyers, so I would think they are the new Guests "I HOPE NOT OR I WILL THROW IN THE TOWEL"
Thank for listening to my problems:)

eBay must be getting really desperate! I didn't know they were letting "Guests" buy without registering. That is not fair to sellers.

How do you know when they are guest buyers and not registered? Does eBay identify them as guests?

Hope your day is better tomorrow rockyeb220!!

I'd be more inclined to believe it will be a problem for high dollar items which are more subject to fraudulent buyers.

I just assume they are since there all (0) Score i'll see if there is a way to find out, Another weird Thing Today is Normally 1 out of 10 sales is From Canada, Today
I sold 14 Buckles and get this 12 were From Canada, Pretty Strange, allright then i'll see if I can find out
if there guests, I would bet they are.
Thanks

I'll take any and all guest buyers available, turning down money seems kind of foolish to me.

You'll never have a NPB or bad feedback from a guest.

Yap that's right they are not able to leave feedback, but from what i read it seams once they do join they can leave feedback and sound like from past Transactions, Hope not, the article was not to clear, It was from ebay
and now I can't seem to locate it, pretty sure it was a announcement or just when you sign into ebay.

If they register then they are like any other new zero feedback buyer. I don't turn their money down either!
