Sellers- Why You Should File UID's for Non-Paying Buyers - UPDATED

It is very important that all sellers with non-paying bidders file unpaid item disputes if payment is not received from buyers. Since negative feedback can no longer be left for buyers who do not pay to warn other sellers, filing an unpaid item dispute has become more import than ever. Filing a dispute and then closing it eight days later will give the buyer a strike towards suspension and is the only way sellers have to protect each other from bad buyers. It is also important to file for the correct reason - that the buyer didn't pay. If they don't pay, don't file "mutually agreed to cancel the transaction" - that does NOT give the buyer a strike. Sellers must help each other by filing these forms to get these habitual non-payers off of E Bay. While most buyers on eBay are honest, the small amount that don’t pay can now wreak havoc with feedback. Suspension is the only way to stop these buyers. Please read and use this link to file your dispute and remember to close it eight days later if the buyer doesn’t respond, (or sooner if the buyer does respond): http://rebulk.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?CreateDispute Keep in mind, if your buyer does not respond to the dispute before you close it, any feedback they leave you won’t count against your feedback score and will have a notation from eBay that the buyer did not respond to the UID filing. And if the buyer responds to the dispute but in replying to it they do not express dissatisfaction with the seller or the item, feedback can also be removed. So don’t let the threat of feedback deter you from filing. Additionally, you will have your basic re-listing fee refunded as well if you file the UID, close it and then re-list and the item sells. Remember, you are not only getting fees back that you paid eBay, you are also helping your fellow sellers by giving the non-payer a strike towards suspension.
