Re Listed an item
2 weeks ago I listed an item and the item was bought but the buyer never sent a payment. Now this week I put it back up and the same buyer who bought the item but didn't pay has the highest bid. The auction ends soon, based on the amount they bid I doubt anyone is going to out bid them. What am I suppose to do as a seller if someone keeps buying my stuff and never paying for it. I paid eBay the 4.99 to help boost bids. But I feel like I am wasting my time trying to sell this item. Could it be they are selling similar items and want to keep my items off the market? This just seems so crazy to me, hopefully they pay this time but I don't have high hopes.

Mentor3 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?

As a new seller, you are ripe for scammers. 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.

OP3 years agoThank you,
I did not know about those settings. I have updated mine to reflect the recommendation ill also looks for the immediate pay requirement next time I list. I did remove Best Offer form last time, I guess I get a lesson learned every week I list on eBay.
