I'm Pissed, DP Users Don't Pay!?

I don't get it, please correct me if I'm wrong but...

This is the 3rd time this has happend.

Someone with good iTrader 50-100 Positive will buy something from me and then 3-4 days later no reply, no payment. Even after sending several pms. According to their profile they've been online..

They just disappear for 2 days and on the 3rd or 4th day I'm done. I've give them a - iTrader and then that of course gets their attention and they give me a - iTrader which I think is insane they don't remove it becuase they're the ones who didn't make any payment.

What is wrong with people? Why in the world buy something you don't intent to pay for? Please tell me, maybe I have it wrong. But I'm getting sick and tired of this...

 

Dont have a clue mate, have you tried taken this up with an Admin or a Mod?

 

no, I've just reported the - iTrader that they give me after I give them one for non-payment

 

Same happened with me , some guy named Masker offered to give 2$ for sign-up and completing some details and i did that perfectly and replied to him but he haven't gave me reply since then , i did not bother much since it was only a matter of 2$ , don't want to waste my time on such things.

 

See what gets me is its always a decent ammount of money with non-payment

$30
$40
$50.......

C'mon, this is really getting old

 

Having done this for a livng for a few years. its far more common for the writer or coder to get ripped off than it is the client. Therefore.

Take a 25% deposit. Deliver them half of their content and get the other 25%.. Then payment in full when all work is delivered. HOWEVER
Here is what I"ve done that seems to work VERY well to get paid if you get no response any other way. trick from a bitchy old pro...

If they dont' pay. go to copyscape. put in the articles text that you've written. find out exactly where on the net they are sitting..

get the site url and then, send them an email, telling them this is their last opportunity to make payment prior to your making a complaint to Google and the other search engines, stating that they are using stolen content, which they do not own the copyright to. That is strictly and absolutely true since they don't own that copyright until your bill is PAID IN FULL.
Post the content on a subsection of a site that you own. listing it as unpaid and for sale.

Send them a letter telling them what you are doing, and why. If they pay,thank them politely and drop your complaint.
Google truly frowns on stolen content and will send them a notice asking them to take the content down, at which time you resell it. In addition they often get their site penalized.

 

My auctions are not like that..

Its like a store, you pay me, I give you the product.
And I'm selling websites so its not as easy to get them for content issues

 

LadyMacbeth9,

Awesome post. Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

 

people are allowed to change their mind when buying something

 

It is a problem i guess, but remember the itrader system always evens itself out, thy do that to too many people and they lose their status and trust. You lost an itrader for a good cause

 

And that is perfectly fine, but they should let me know so I'm not sitting there with my head up my ass, when I could be re-listing

 

you should share their username here,.... so people will black list them,...

 

I am surprised you transfer them websites without they even paying you any money!
In my opinion, since websites can be easily accessed for evaluation, you should seal the deal only by asking for payment... upfront.
Just my opinion...though!

Regards,

RightMan

 

Their is indeed some high traider here in DP which doesnt pay and after doing some job. I even encountered someone here wherein after posting some blog reviews they pay me but after he has sumbit chargeback and when I asked him he wont reply and when he does he said his paypal is hacked

 

I don't think you should be able to give a negative itrader for no payment. It's not like he scammed you, he just chose against purchasing it.

 

I also agree with this. It would be a different story if the buyer got something and never paid for it.

 

Hey, sorry

I was on vacation, so I didn't have time to sort things out.

I was a buyer for one of the auctions..

I'm going to verify his revenue and traffic as well, and if it's not as how it's claimed, I'll let everyone know.

Thanks.

 

You know what I hate as well? When the link in my signature clearly says for only United States, UK, Canada users and people from India and others sign-up anyways. It's SOOOOOO frustrating.

To the OP, contact an Admin and solve it because we can't do anything to help you.

 

is there any solid solution to this ..??
scammers can be both .. sellers and buyers .. few days bck i saw a person selling a pr4 domain which he doesnt own ! :| ... so ..how shd the transaction go about .. nobody wants to loose money !! is there any foolproof way for trading on DP.. ??

 

Hey man no worries, its just that its happened before is all
