all the time up to 50 every year and it is getting worse,my thoughts block them in your block list

No negative buyer feedback has brought out the kooks, the scammers, and the dreamers. Ebay isn't filtering them out, so we're all seeing this increase. For newer buyers, and for those I suspect, I am now going into the buyers feedback files and reviewing both the feedback received AND the feedback they have left for others (that can be quite telling...such as "Thanks for being so understanding", "Good to work with", etc.). When I see that, I am now voiding their bid and immediately blocking them from future auctions. I am probably losing a good sale now and then, but it beats going through the "no pay" process and/or low DSRs and Negative Feedback from deadbeat buyers.

Thanks everyone for your input.

You can make it so anyone buying from you have to pay when they purchase the item. And anyone that says it hurts your sales well your wrong we have been here just over a year and we have sold over 60k so it does not hurt your sales just hurts the scammer.

to make them pay put buy it now and pay now.

open unpaid item cases wait 4 more days go back close them to get your fees back I hope all you have been doing that if not your giveing ebay FREE money

3 non-payers in the past week! Ughh!!!

I am on my 29th UPIC Since January!!!! They come in..Bid at last second..then oh well...I might add that I have also had more RETURNS and been scammed twice now w/out any recourse in the last 7 months too...oh..it had a scratch on it.....um..i had to cut these jeans and they dont fit well??? NO LIE!! lololoL~ Its hopeless peeps...sellers have no help and we lose daily..I can't AFFORD TO SELL ANYMORE!! ;(

You can get all their information by going to the advance option, on left hand side there is an option that say get members contact information, click it, put in the user id and the item # of the auction and you will get an email with name, phone # etc.

Also when you get the end of auction letter it will have that info as well.

I am leaving Ebay, they suck and more seller should as well.

Will it hurt ? Maybe but the more that leave the more buyers will come to other sites.

I have a non paying bidder that has gone on for 15 days since the end of the auction. I have contacted them twice with no reply so I opened up a case with eBay. I hope they do not think I am paying final value fees or anything else since no transaction took place.

These bidders who do not pay should be suspended for 3 months automatically the first time so they will see how much trouble it is when they do not keep their promises..... much like somebody we have had in office for 3 1/2 years!

I do not want to relist this item until the issue is settled, but time is just ticking away. There must be a way to have these items paid for the minute the bidder wins the auction, that would be a great system to put in place, just like so many auction houses.

These non paying bidders need some negative feedback at least.

I too have had many non paying bidders lately.  Ebay is all about protecting the buyers and no longer have the seller in mind.  By this i mean we get screwed by having to wait 4 days to file a case and then 4-7 days more to close it and be able to relist it.

Ebay needs to bring back the ability to leave negative feedback on non paying bidders so everyone can see what these people are actually like, and hurry the case closing a bit.

look at your buyer requirements

require paypal acct is another option

use buy it now with immediate payment required

and please dont wait more than 4 days to file unpaid item report

hello All .

I am new to the forums..not new to ebay. (2002) This past week I have had 6 Non Payers...4 that went all the way to a mark against them. But it's sad that there is no way to let other Sellers know about these people. Most of the non payers had 10 or MORE buys. I think it's changed a little. The newbie bidders are good for awhile...then get carried away with buying after about 8-10 purchases...

Doesn't Ebay hierarchy see that taking Negative Feedback comments away from the Sellers... carries repercussions?  Upsetting the balance of fair business calls in Judgement. Kharma or Heavenly Judgement...call it what you like. Ebay is being Sued more than ever before by disgruntled Sellers. If Ebay would spend time EQUALING the playing field between Buyers and Sellers, they would save a fortune in lawsuits. Keep sellers happy and Ebay make BIG BUCKS. Instead they worry about keeping buyers happy for "Dollars", rather than attracting Sellers for Millions.

In the past few years, I have seen many Sellers move to their own websites due to the alleged unfair polices and restrictions.

In my opinion, which isn't worth much, Ebay has got issues with micro management. All the policing in the world cannot force people to come to Ebay...either buyers or sellers. And they are spending a fortune in staff.
