The are full of jokers or FFKers, the best thing is to ensure DEPOSIT is paid BEFORE AGREE ON COD! It may sound stupid sometime to ask for maybe RM20 deposit to buy a RM100 items, but it is even more stupid of us agree with these FFKers without any deposit and ended up nothing happened at all...

stay on our feet sellers!

Forummer I'm complaining against : Ohmyballs http://forum.lowyat.net/user/ohmyballs
Item : Band Hero Set http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2530455&hl=
Arranged to COD yesterday one the 3rd of October for the set at 9.30pm at Sunway there, arrived at 9.20 and waited.

9.30 I called and sms him but no reply at all. Phone was on but nobody picked up. I called for more than 10 times while waiting until 10.10PM but still no show.

Had no choice but to report for FFKing. Wasting my time and fuel driving all the way there for nothing.

Hope forummers here take note.

That's why I always insists on buyer paying little deposit before COD... try that, it will eliminate some nonsense buyers. And good luck with your sales.

Sellers, if you practise asking for deposit before arranging your meet up with the buyer I'm sure there will be lesser chance of being FFKed..

At least, please have the courtesy to inform the seller that you do not intend to buy the item anymore smile.gif

I've faced FFK problem too.

I'm selling my Prada bag at Stuff for the ladies and this particular buyer seems to be very interested & super nice to me.  She promised to pay me RM250 as a deposit & will pay me again the remaining RM700 either on Saturday (15/06/13) or even Monday (17/06/13). 

Then, I agreed with the deal & allowed her to do so.  I did also asked for her mailing address & contact no as to enable me to prepare the packaging earlier.  She then provided all her mailing details.

Then, the transaction keep dragging as she has given me excuses as she was very sick during the weekend.  So, I was fine with it & she promised to pay on Monday nite.  She promised to me that she'll sms me once payment made.  I waited until 10pm still no reply from her, therefore, I just drop her a simple polite sms to her, out of my expectation, she switched off the phone.

I kept waiting again until the next morning, before I went to post office to post her package, I contacted her again.  From that moment onwards, she stop replying my sms nor all the PMs. 

I never force her to buy from me & what I need is just a confirmation status from her whether she's still interested in my item.  I dare not sell to others as we already closed the deal. How could she be so irresponsible since she's some head of department in a big IT related company in Malaysia.  I even sms her by telling her that it's totally fine for me if she's no longer interested to buy.  I just need her to reply as I don't intend to have nay misunderstanding in future as she turns back and accusing me for not reserving the bag for her!!!!  doh.gif

I SERIOUSLY NEEDS OPINIONS FROM YOU GUYS AS I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO NEXT!!!

Thanks!!

A lesson learnt over the past one year...There is no need to rush the buyer honestly... You don't have to lock the item down for anyone unless you see a deposit in your pocket. Whoever pays first, he/she gets the item.. I will never chase after anyone even if they promised to do this and that.... show me the money and the deal will proceed.

Relax..

Cheers

Hi dannygoh, now wanna kick up a big fuss here?

Firstly, it was a strictly first come first serve case. I've had dozens of people give verbal agreement to buy but never pay in the end. I never whine about it. Someone paid earlier, plain and simple.
2ndly, out of goodwill, I even offered to sell you the next batch with a slight discount. Do you know that I can easily sell my units at a higher price? But you don't appreciate the gesture and make an even bigger fuss.
3rdly, I never promised to sell it to you. You just assumed it yourself.
4thly, Don't you think you are being immature by blocking me and throwing a tantrum here?

I don't have anything to hide regarding my trade practices, so I'm replying to your grouses in the open. If you want to blame anyone, don't blame me but blame all the 1000s of buyers who FFK sellers on a daily basis. What you experienced is less than 1% of the things I endure as a seller.
Just to make things clear for everyone here, I did not receive any payment from him, others already banked in and paid earlier, so first pay first serve. No 'chop chop' unless payment was already paid. I believe that's only fair.

And let me just quote a post from another person in the same thread, just 2 pages earlier...

I've repeatedly suggest that, no deposit, no COD.. If everyone cares to follow a simple rule, the COD world will be more peaceful... *sigh*

my point is, 95% of LYN are unwilling to pay deposit (even RM10)

when you give them your bank account number, all sorts of excuses start popping up

Tks for sharing.. my sales are 90% COD, and 100% are deposit payors... Sometimes its also down to how eager/desperate we are to sell I suppose.

Sakurazz has made the point clear and that's precisely what fellow buyers should try to understand ... We don't make a huge profit margin here, so if you have issue with sticking up by the COD ethics, then take your bloody money elsewhere. mad.gif

how pathetic.

1. any intention of canceling the deal being made beforehand? nothing until this blacklist is out.

2. u personally called me a few times, sms-ed me a few times? everything was after this blacklist done. i'm valuing u as a customer, u value my service as shit.

3. i do not hard sell anything here. "send me banking details, will straight bank in", in case u do not what this mean, u can ask forumer here to rephrase yr sentence to u.

4. 'you give out your banking details doesn't mean customer or person inquiring must bank in' takes so hard for u to give a single reply on 'sorry i found another deal', 'sorry my nexus had been delayed'. typical reasons

5. and it's nothing up here, you're online everyday, so hard for u to fullfill above 1,3,4 ?

I will be ANNOYED & PISSED when someone asked for a bank account, phone details but never made the transfer eventually. I treat that as info PHISHING!

I always wonder can LYN create another thread just to let us put down those PHISHERs info.

IF YOU HAVEN'T MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO BUY, DON'T ASK FOR BANK DETAILS. full stop.

it is about a courtesy to inform someone so that the other person doesn't have to waste their time. "My time is as precious as yours" - Just keep this in mind.

FAQ : HOW TO AVOID BEING FFKed ?

Answer : Ask for Deposit, be it RM20, RM50, OR 100 depending on the value of your item for sales, or at least a sum that could covers your time, tol, petrol etc. for meeting up with your prospects! If you think this is not necessary or too troublesome for you or for your prospect, then be prepared to get FFKed and don't moan about it.

Edited : The deposit, more importantly, will show some honesty & truthfulness from the buyer to proceed with the deal.
