Sick & Tired of Non-Payers

I haven't done it, but you can set up 'buyer requirements' for each of your items. This can include minimum feedback rating and unpaid items on the account.

Guy is scum...continued to buy cards and pay for others...lots of others in the last few days...added to my blocked buyer/seller list. BTW, buythatcard is one of the better ebayers and members...it is shame this continues to happen.

Thanks Joshua.

As long as there are items to sell, there will be scum out there who think that they can get away with anything.

Atleast we can stop some of them thru the boards.

I only sell occasionally on eBay but have still had a couple npb. I hate it when it happens because I'm usually watching my items until they close and am happy to have sold them. Then when I wait and wait for payment and it never comes it sucks. I'm usually trying to raise some funds for another purchase and having someone not pay throws that off. Then I have to wait for the whole claim process to go through before listing again and then wait another week for another auction to run it's course. Total pain. I can't imagine having one buyer skip out on 18 items. That would be very upsetting for sure. I feel for you. Sorry you had to deal with this crap.

Guess I've also been one of the lucky ebay sellers,always get paid.Of course,I just list about 10 lots a week.On the other side ,there have been two sellers on ebay blocking my future bids.I committed the crime of asking for refunds on undersized cards.is it just me or there has been a Biblical like plague of undersized cards selling on ebay,not to mention trimmed items ? I've had to be careful what i'm buying due to that fact that i always relist what I buy on ebay in future auctions.I don't want to be selling those undersized items.If i do,I advertise that fact in the action description.

Howard, even though you gave this loser 18 npb's it only counts as one. This guy needs npb's from 3 different sellers. It should be one npb and the buyer gets his account closed unless payment is made. Another thing to remember is to block the buyer as soon as you file the npb so the guy can't purchase another item from you and give you negative feedback. Even if someone pays me after I file an npb I still block him so I don't have to deal with him again.

Ebay doesn't care if sellers don't sell the items they are suppose to either. I recently won a T202 from a seller that was selling other cards and coins, his feed back was around 40, he proceeded to not send out items to at least 8 buyers (that is how many negatives he got) and still didn't get kicked off. His % was below 90%.

It just doesn't surprise me and that is why I have minimized my ebay transaction especially selling in the last 4 or 5 years.
