3 different buyers have so called purchased sneakers from me but never paid. Ebay cancelled my listing because of suspected fraud from a buyer.. One buyer offered $500 extra to ship to a different address. I have an offer now that i haven't accepted because buyer is from Australia but shipping address is in new jersey so that makes me leery.

@ryje_4382   If you do not feel comfortable with this sale then do not accept the offer.  

1. The only way to help avoid this problem is to list as Fixed Price immediate payment required, only NO auctions and NO best offers.  

To have the immediate payment required option you will need to use this listing form and check the IPR box:

2) If you have offers from suspicious buyers or they don't pay then add them to your blocked buyer list:

3) If buyer doesn't pay then on the 5th day after sale cancel as buyer hasn't paid.  This refunds your sellers fees and gives the non payer a stirke on their account.

4) Have you set up your shipping preferences and buyer requirements in account settings:  

1. Exclude shipping locations

2. Block buyers whose primary shipping address is in a location I don't ship to AND block buyers with 2 or more unpaid items in 12 months.

Thanks for the reply. All this info is useful for a newbie like me.

Why do posters do this? What sort of response does one expect from a one word post. Then others get to waste their time guessing what the poster meant. Number two nuisance behind Sri Lankan posters.
