My first eBay NPB

[Wickabee]

I finally got a non-payer. Judging from his feedback, he hasn't been baying long, but he's ticked off a few sellers with this.
Handle is stevehotcards. Block him, you won't get paid.

I know. I'm actually considering myself lucky to have gone this long without one.

I have had well over 200 NPB's.

I don't understand why there're so many who're winning auctions and not ending up paying!?
It's ok to pay first after some days or max 10-14 days if the seller agrees with it when if you're really short of cash right the moment of the auction ends and 110% are going to pay.

But to never paying for items which they won...why?
It's just for the fun or the thrill to winning and not to paying for someone?

Ebay needs to listen to sellers and give the ability to leave negative feedback again for Non paying bidders. A conversation I had with a Ebay rep was that sellers were to quick to leave negative feedback and it was hurting sales on the site. I asked him why they could not set it so we could leave negative feed back in say 7 days. Or once we file a claim for a non paying bidder, Ebay should automatically leave an auto generated feedback on that users account that they did not pay after we close the transaction. I got a we will look into it response which I basically took as fat chance of that ever happening.

Yeah for any reason you should not bid if you cant pay for won auction i dont get thoose people either, do they also walk into a store and want buy something but dont pay?

I honestly get 10-15 non paying bidders a week nowadays. I sell 50-100 items at auction a week. It drives me nuts. The one recently that is really angering me is the person who made an offer on my card that I accepted and now they won't pay. They live 8 minutes from me so I might pay them a visit. But that could get me in trouble. :)

THe other thing that gets me wound up is selling new releases when they come out, and then the buyer doesn't pay. The next time it sells it sells for far less than the first time. Ebay should compensate me the difference, OR let me leave a negative after a NPB case is closed in my favour.
