Held to ransom....

Here is what I use (per the request above)...not had one single issue AND I would use this as evidence to fight an attempted refund. I have had to deal with those on paypal before BTW, and have won several....also have with VI/MC.

Not saying what you have said otherwise it true or not true...I just know that 99% of people that read these tend to not try to push the issue lest they lose. So the deterrent works in any event.

PLEASE BID ONLY WHEN YOU INTEND TO BUY !!
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS BELOW, BY BIDDING YOU HAVE EXPRESSLY REPRESENTED THAT YOU AGREE TO AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE TERMS LISTED BELOW.

PAYMENTS:
Payments are required within 24 hours of purchase, otherwise I will reserve the right to relist the auction and negative unpaid strike will be left for non-payers. Buying on Ebay is a contract, please make sure you plan on completing your end of the contract.

SHIPPING:
The shipping charge includes all shipping and handling charges and all the costs incurred for the shipping fees for this auction. If you do not agree with the shipping charge, please do not place bid.
For international shipments we only ship via UPS since they can track door to door to most locations…however, we CANNOT be responsible if a carrier loses a package, once we deliver the package to them and it is shipped, it is no longer our responsibility. If you DO NOT agree with this policy, DO NOT PLACE A BID. You EXPRESSLY revoke your right to chargeback or dispute at any time with your Credit Card Company, Paypal and Ebay if the tracking number is provided and the item was not delivered or lost by UPS. You certainly may seek remedy with UPS at your expense and time. In the event that UPS CANNOT provide tracking door to door to your location, you will be given the right to cancel the auction for a refund...IF you agree to ship anyways, you EXPRESSLY revoke your right to chargeback or dispute at any time with your Credit Card Company, Paypal and Ebay and assume all responsibility for the package once a tracking number from UPS is provided via Ebay. In the event, any import or duty fees are assessed by your country, YOU are solely responsible for those fees and EXPRESSLY revoke your right to chargeback or dispute at any time with your Credit Card Company, Paypal and Ebay for the package. We cannot know positively if any of these fees can or will be assessed, so these fees are strictly your responsibility above and beyond the item cost and shipping fees.

Please leave us feedback once you receive the item, we will return the same favor.

Please contact us DIRECTLY if there are any issues with a product that we sell to you. We will make every effort to resolve any issues with a product…we inspect each and every product for it is shipped and do our best to provide an accurate assessment of the product in the description of the auction, HOWEVER, we have a no return policy on any items in which an “issue” is described…for example, if a laptop is sold as NON-tested/for parts, then we will not accept a return for the item if you receive it and it doesn’t power on or does not work as that was explained in the description as a non-tested/for parts item.

You can "require" payment within 24 hours
BUT >> Buyers have at least 1 minute short of 6 days to pay
You can't do anything if they don't pay for at least 48 hours
Unpaid item dispute can be opened at 48 hours and closed 4 days after that

Once the unpaid item is closed neither party can leave Feed Back
Unpaid item will give "Buyer" a strike >> Sellers can set their blocks to prevent "Buyers" with 2 or more unpaid item strikes from purchasing from them
Once the unpaid item dispute is closed by Seller >> eBay refunds final value fees

negative unpaid strike will be left for non-payers. << Is there a Positive Unpaid item strike on eBay?

I had to chuckle when I read this. I do believe it may work as a deterrent to some. However, it will definitely serve as a turn off to many buyers, myself included. Further, it is absolutely worthless on eBay or in a court of law. I have been buying and selling on eBay since 99 and I have found almost no problems with items I sell. 99.9% of the buyers are absolutely honest and do not take advantage. Occasionally you get one and tracking will save your butt, so always have tracking. EBay's policy is, if you have tracking and the carrier reports receipt of the item under that number, you cannot be charged with not shipping it. You may still have to reimburse but that depends on the circumstance. All priority comes with $100 insurance on eBay and if it is worth more I would buy insurance anyway. Add the cost into your price.

I also use a reverse tactic that works well for me. I am low key and respectful to all potential customers. When a customer pays promptly (I require within 4 days) I always leave feedback immediately. As a seller I cannot leave negative feedback anyway, so this actually serves to make most people feel obligated to either leave good feedback or none at all (if they are less than satisfied). I make it clear I will work with any buyer that has an issue and comes to me before leaving feedback. I figure I will have to reimburse them anyway, so I might as well do it voluntarily and save the negative feedback. I am over 1700 at 100% positive.
