I'm tired of people who buy and don't pay
Hello
I'm tired of people who buy and don't pay
This month many people bought from me and did not pay me. I don't know if they agreed or if they are competitors.
Now what I do is look at the feedback of each person who bids in my auctions
A person has bid and I saw that he has little feedback and a comment that the buyer was furious because he didn't pay
So I'm thinking of blocking him
What do you recommend?
Do I block him or leave him and if I block him, what reason would I have to say?
I look forward to your good advice
Thank you

·1 year agoSet your Seller Preferences/Buyer Requirements to automatically Block bidders with Strikes for non payment.
Always open a Dispute when you have a deadbeat. This can also be set to happen automatically after 96 hours and closed immediately giving the deadbeat a Strike.
There are more Unpaid Items on Auctions than on Fixed Price listings because buyers don't want to wait to learn they lost.
Over 85% of transactions are Fixed Price. And Auctions can have a Best Offer or Buy It Now option.
Auctions are only suitable for specialty, collectible and rare items. All of your Sold items were Fixed Price not Auction.

OP1 year agoI don't understand why eBay didn't fix that in the auctions
as well as the buy now that is paid immediately

·1 year agoThey did fix it. You just have to enable the option.
Go to your Account Settings -> Selling Preferences. Click Edit next to "Managing who can buy from you". Then make sure the two checkboxes near the bottom are checked. Direct link: https://www.ebay.com/bmgt/buyerrequirements

·1 year agoAuctions do have that option. I have bid in auctions this past week where I needed to verify my payment info prior to placing a bid. When I won the items, I could either pay immediately by Checking Out right then, or it said the system will automatically withdraw the funds in 1 hour from end of auction.
Edit: I see now that it only applies to Auctions that ALSO have a Buy it Now option

·1 year agoI do not do auctions, I tried in the past & didn't have much success so i went to buy it now, works much better for me, That being said, I have seen this same complaint over & over again, Maybe people are just using it as a game & not taking it seriously & with ebay not really able to do anything about it, All you can do is block those bidders who don't pay., Good Luck.

OP1 year agoI use both buy now and auctions
I have no problems with buy now
only with auctions
but I make a little more money with auctions than with buy now, that's why I continue with auctions
apart from that, I start some auctions at one dollar and they fill up with bidders

·1 year agoYou don't make anything if they don't pay.
Now, you can require buyer to provide a funding source before they can place a bid or offer.

·1 year agoSet your auctions to require immediate payment in the future.
I'm not sure how it works if you block someone after they have placed a bid, I'm sure someone else has more insight on that part.

OP1 year agoHi, thanks for answering
Auctions don't have that option
It's only buy now
