Buyer paid, but not one of my approved forms of payment. Now what?

Sporting Goods November 27th, 2007

A buyer has won 3 of my auctions and is currently bidding on a fourth. She won the first two at a steal. My auction says Paypal or USPS money order. The first two auctions ended 11/19. Today, I receive a personal check for the auctions. I’m really P.O. What are my rights and options. I don’t want to wait another (how many days) for the check to clear. Can I cancel her purchase and relist as she did not follow the terms of the auction?

Please advise!!!

Put the bidder on your BBL (blocked bidder list) and send her an email stating that you will be returning her check as it is not in line with your terms.

Remind her that your listings state payment via XXX and XXX and that you will expect payment for the items by such n such date.

You could cancel her current bids, but if you do, she/he might get angry and not pay you at all.
