    How does DP handle deadbeat buyers?
    I have 4 buyers which requested payment details, and almost a week passed, they still have not paid. Please advise.

    I am very eager to leave them all negative feedbacks for reneging on a deal. But will DP protect me from their "revenge" feedback if they ever will do it? I can provide all proof.

    those are not deadbeat buyers
    they just simply loss interest and you even need to thank them for showing some interest unlike others ;)

    and you cant leave any feedback to them because they only say PM more details and they are not making agreeement to buy and buyers have the right to back out.

    and they will not send you any feedback either since no deals are made but if you did leave them feedback, you can be reported.

    think about real life situation, you are selling a car, you have buyers calling you saying they are interested to buy and ask you all the info and payment details, they back out because they lose interest. You cant just call BBB and report them for not buying your car and "cheating on you and ruining your sale".

    it also depends on the timely manner you reply your PM requests. Some buyers wish to buy at that moment, and if you fail to rpely at that moment, they may have found another deal. :)

    additionally, looks like from several PM, your sale is already targetted to multiple buyers unlike on ebay where there can be deadbeat bidders. But with yours, you have chances to sell to anyone so they are not causing you trouble as well ;)

    They have actually posted sold, and claimed they will take a copy, and requested payment details in PM, and that is all needed for me to file a claim in here. This is deadbeat. I will however, wait for a reply from the administration for proper measures treating them.

    your sale is like I have said before targetted to multiple buyers

    that means no one is deadbeat buyer. You can still ahve others coming by and buying if they are interested.

    Deadbeat means someone claiming sold or won or bid the auction by greatest price where the item is sold only once and highest price so that other buyers cant outbuy; and in that case, once "sold" buyer and seller have to wait for transaction to be done.

    BUT in your case, you they are not causing trouble nor preventing others from buying. They even help you indirectly bump your sale by posting sold for other people to see your thread once again.

    We don't get involved. You do business at your own risk.
