As someone who buys cards and often bids in auctions, I view non payers as hurting other buyers as much as the sellers. If you cannot pay then your bids aren't truely bids and they only cost other potential buyers additional money. If the gentleman is repeatedly unable or unwilling to honor his bids then I hope that ebay and any other auction site would do everything they could to keep that individual from participating. In effect his bids are no different than phantom bids by sellers on their own material - and the fact that the gentleman may be an otherwise nice person to talk with doesn't change things.

I do appreciate the heads up to this type of activity and obviously as a buyer can simply not bid on material that this person bids on.
