buyer not paying
does a buyer get penalized for not paying for an item they won in an auction? This has happened to me a few times now and is very annoying

·2 years agoIn addition to the Buyer Requirement a seller can set to block serial non-payers (at least 2 in the past 12 months) the unpaid cancellation record is something that figures in to setting the buyer's buying limits.

Mentor2 years agoIf the buyer has not paid by day 4, on day 5 the seller can file a Cancellation with the reason Buyer didn't pay. The seller gets his/her FVF credited, the buyer gets an unpaid strike recorded on his account, no one can leave feedback. Two or more unpaid strikes, and the buyer will find it difficult to bid/buy from sellers who block buyers with 2 or more unpaid strikes. Do you have your Buyer Blocks in place?

List as fixed price with Immediate Payment Required (you will need to switch to the advanced/business tool for that option, which is located in the upper right corner of the Quick Listing Tool), no Best Offers, and your listing will stay active until someone actually pays for the item.
