Non- paying bidders with zero feedbacks
I have had so many bidders with zero feedback that never pay for their item after it’s won. I listed one particular item 3 times and each time, it’s been these loser bidders with zero feedbacks that have NO intention to pay. I put a lot of hard work and money into my eBay and such bidders make it very difficult to run a small business affectively. Is there a way sellers can not allow bidders with zero feedback to bid on their items? Am I the only one this is happening to? And what is EBay doing about it?

·3 years agoWell its really frustrating. Did you report this incident to eBay with the particular buyer's ID and account info?
I am pretty sure that eBay will take actions for this.

The only thing Ebay does is give the alleged buyer a strike. If they get too many, then they cannot participate in auctions or buy on ebay for a specific time frame. Then that buyer can come back onto ebay, create a new account and start all over again.
The seller can simply use a buy it now option with immediate payment required checked off and no best offers. It's the sellers choice. Makes sense.

·2 years agoThat doesn’t deter them. I’ve recently had a camera that was bombarded with the zero bidders. As they bid I cancelled their bid and blocked them. Wasted my time for 5 days. Now I have listed another camera as buy it now. Who buys it but a zero bidder. Just waiting for them to cancel. What a waste of time. What do they gain?

2. When you cancelled all those zero FB bidders, what did you use as your reason?
