Non paying bidders
Non paying bidders are a serious problem. I have had two in the past two weeks. These people should be banned from eBay. What actually happens to these bidders?

Mentor2 years agoHI @nicerman
-Use the Report Buyer link on the transaction
-Wait 4 days and cancel on day 5 using the reason Buyer hasn't paid
-Add them to your blocked list
-Use the Second chance offer feature after you have cancelled the transaction to possibly sell to the next highest bidder
If they get enough strikes and reports I am sure eBay takes action.

OP2 years agoStill do not understand what action eBay takes to punish non-paying high bidders. It goes with out saying that
I cancel the order and block the deadbeat bidder . I usually relist the item rather than offer it to the next highest bidder.

eBay doesn’t do anything to bidders who don’t pay.
Sellers have the unpaid item process that allows them to cancel on the 5th day. This gives the buyer a strike.
Sellers can set their buyer requirements to block bidders with 2 strikes in the past 12 months.
eBay is very buyer friendly and there doesn’t seem to be much a buyer can do to get eBay to take action.
