Just do Immediate Payment Required on all BINs. That way your auction won't end unless it is paid for.

There isn't a setting for blocking 0 bidders, the others told you what to do to prevent someone messing up sale without paying. Do immediate payment.

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle." There is no such word as bidded.

if you require immediate payment then buyers can not buy multiple items from your store without paying for each one individually. so if you offer shipping discounts this is a problem. We block bidders that have had 2 non paying bids within the 30 days. Or you could put a message that states that people with 0 feedback must email you before bidding, so if they don't talk to you first you can cancel their bid. Just remember you too once had 0 feedback

Many of my best buyers had 0 feedback. Only thing I do is to ask Ebay for contact info as soon as they bid. "Or you could put a message that states that people with 0 feedback must email you before bidding, so if they don't talk to you first you can cancel their bid. Just remember you too once had 0 feedback " I agree even though I don't have that in my descriptions.

... . .

If I have cash in hand,(large or small amount),,I don't care how many feedback they have. I don't sell anything on credit and I don't ship a thing until money is in my hot little hands. (I don't use paypal)

... . .

I will be happy to sell to all the 0 feedback folks out there, just send me cash, MO, checks,............

Yea,,,I don't have anything for $2000.00 right now,,,but have had items for those amounts...FYI

... . .

btw: I will be filing unpaid item disputes against 4 people today..ALL with 0 feedback.

Point made!

I used to use the bin only, but many many people were mad at that, it also cut out the possibility of money orders, which has greatly increased sales. So it's a trade off, yes, believe it or not, I do have a LOT of people who think they are getting a real item, the john boat, and the stun gun are prime examples..humm..im sending a john boat, for $4.99, with no shipping..their response..well, I thought I was getting a good deal..please..I even for a while, put in the auctions (THIS AUCTION IS FOR INFORMATION, NOT THE ACTUAL ITEM, YOU WILL BE EMAILED THE INFORMATION). Did absolutely NO good. Last night, someone emailed asking how much was shipping to spain, and how much it would be for 2 stun guns shipped to spain...arg...

I just block them, they are not worth the hassle.

People just dont read, they bid, and have no comprehension on what they bid on. A lot time ago, I sold a bunch of furniture, due to the nature of it, it absolutely had to be picked up on a certain day, at a certain time, both conditions listed, saying that if you cant pick it up on that day and time, not to bid. Think that was my first negative, for being unrealistic requiring a specific day and time. Humm..pretty clearly stated in the auction..

Sellers get screwed because of this, if the buyer refuses payment, or doest follow conditions, then there is absolutely no way that the seller should get a negative.

Another favorite..underage girl (she admitted this in email), purchased the stun gun plans, and then refused to pay, stating that sending the stun gun to her would be against the law in europe..humm..point #1, its plans, #2, if its against the law, then why did you purchase them. She then proceeded to say she was a christian, and would make payment since that was the right thing to do...she proceeded to leave me nasty negative, and never paid. I contacted ebay about her being underage, and copied them the email from her, stating she was underage, they did nothing. So I get stuck with negative, and no payment.

Ebay had proof, of her underage (as well as others), and does nothing about it..im sorry, but if a user says they are 14 in a email sent through ebays contact form, then ebay should kick them..end of subject, since they admitted they are in violation of the terms of service..

but they wont..

Im sorry, but I am now one of the people who ONLY leave positive feedback for positive received. Considering I allow 10 days to examine the plans (14 for the cd), the buyer can examine them, if not happy, get all of their money back, so they are out nothing whatsoever.

I used to just leave positive immediately after the purchase, but stopped, due to getting negatives, when the matter could easily be resolved by getting a refund.


I have become so sick of undeserved negatives...

bigiron5 - non paying bidder, no payment = negative.

maryjow1029 - a favorite..I harrass her to by..humm..she would not have negative, if she paid..

richilene- paid using a echeck..told them like 5 times, when payment clears, I will send..even sent a copy of the paypal email..they get mad, because they didnt get the plans, before payment cleared..

curlycue8 - another non payer..
guystuff0 - another winner..upset, because the infor was sent by email..humm...what does the auction say delivery is by?

so what is one to do...someone makes a purchase..decides not to pay, leaves the seller negative, seller files a upi and leaves negative..buyer responds to upi, so the buyer gets a neg and upi, the seller gets a neg and no payment..

seller is in the right..they made a legal and biding sale, and receive negative, and no payment..

something is wrong with this picture...

Well, I am a new ebayer and I started at 0 as well as everyone else. Thank goodness I found some great people to purchase from, I have had a
positive experience with ebay.


I'm glad the ones I bought off of didn't block my bids or I wouldn't have had a chance.

Just my two cents worth!!!!!

Sure you can, but you need to know their ID first
