I've had 5 non paying bidders in the last 60 days...one of the biggest things that irks me is that when I go to leave feedback ebay makes sure that I can see the item they won, but puts a big warning sign underneath telling me I can not leave feedback for the transaction...if there's a way to get those items off of my leave feedback screen I can't figure it out. It's especially irksome when I see their feedback score rising so I know ebay hasn't kicked them off. My last non paying bidder was an ebay member since 1998, hasn't won a single item in over three years and made no replies at all to my efforts to contact him.

I recently called ebay to get them to increase my selling limits...they limited me for no reason at all...the lady I talked to said that by the end of the year every single seller will have a limit placed on their account based on their selling history. Supposedly it's an average of what you do in a month as a seller..anyway I got her to double my limits. I also gave her suggestions to send on up to the ebay policy makers.

1. If a buyer is going to leave a 1 or 2 DSR for any reason they have to explain why they are leaving this...ebay doesn't allow you to see who leaves these 1's and 2's so it's impossible for a seller to know what they did that upset these anonymous buyers...in the last three months I've gotten a 1 or 2 for communication...I'm not even sure who I pissed off or why? I answer all questions..I let people know when their item shipped, et cetera so why the 1 or 2 DSR??? This cost me my 20% discount which came up to about $125..three anonymous assholes cost me $125 and I can't even know why?

2. Make all NPB strikes visible on a buyers feedback...this way I can at least have satisfaction in knowing ebay has done something about the deadbeat who bid on my item and wasted my time.
