Bad buyer won’t pay again
I had a pair of Levi’s listed on eBay. They got up to $145 and stayed there for about three days and then right at the last minute a person bid another two dollars to make it $147. I went to contact that person and noticed that was the same person who offered me $100 for the pair early on in the listing which I said “no thank youâ€!and good luck if you bidâ€. That same person hasn’t paid yet. Has not returned my communication. It’s been three days. I know I have to wait four days but I noticed that same person (Localos80) was on my “block buyerâ€, list so it’s obvious the block buyer list doesn’t block. What a pain!

Mentor2 years ago@scott.springer2012 As a fellow seller I know how frustrating non paying buyers can be.
When a buyer doesn't pay you can cancel the sale after 4 FULL DAYS so on the 5th day cancel as buyer hasn't paid. This gives the non-paying buyer a strike on their account and they also will not be able to leave feedback. Then you relist OR do a second chance offer.
If the buyer receives 2 or more strikes in 12 months then they are blocked from auctions or best offers for one year ( as long as the seller sets this up in account settings) and can only make immediate payment purchases, if they get too many strikes then eBay may remove the buyer from the site.
Do not send an invoice or it starts the clock over again for when you cancel as buyer hasn't paid. eBay sends payment reminders.

Add the buyer to your blocked buyer list:

Have you set up your buyer requirements in account settings?
Click this link: https://www.ebay.com/bmgt/buyerrequirements Then block buyers with 2 or more unpaid items in 12 months.
If you are not shipping internationally also block buyers in locations you do not ship to.
