How do I report people that run up bids and never pay

[ensoe22]

This is the most annoying thing. After waiting 7 days to sell an item. People come last minute and do this all the time.

You open and close an Unpaid Item case. You then make sure to block all buyers with 2 or more Unpaid Item Strikes in the last 12 months.

What to do when they don't pay.

As a seller, protect yourself, as best you can. eBay has Buyer Requirements. Set them to the strictest settings.

Block bidders who:
Don't have a PayPal account
Have unpaid items recorded on their account
Have a primary shipping address in countries you don't want to ship to
Have violated eBay policies
Are currently winning or have bought 1-100 of your items in the last 10 days (you can specify the number)

In some situations it might be better to list the item with Buy It Now and use the Immediate Payment Required option. That way, it isn't actually sold until it is paid for.

You might want to consider using the eBay Unpaid Item Assistant.

1> Go to Account settings>Account preferences>Site preferences>Unpaid Item Assistant.

2> Click on the "Edit" link at the right and click on the "Yes – I want Unpaid Item Assistant to open and close cases on my behalf." button.

3> Select "2 days" from the "Open a case if payment hasn't been received after" drop-down list.

4> Select "Real-time" for the next 2 drop-downs.

5> I have "No" selected for the next 2 drop-downs, but you can select whatever suits you.

6> Hit the blue "Save" button at the bottom.

All done.

Now when a bidder/buyer doesn't pay after 2 days, eBay will automatically open a case for you and send you and the buyer an email noting such. After the two days are up, eBay will send the buyer a notice that they have 4 days to pay up. After that the your UPI case will automatically close. The buyer will receive an Unpaid Item strike on their account. Once the case is closed the buyer will not be able to leave you negative feedback. It will take 1-2 weeks, maybe more, for eBay to refund your FVF. Don't forget to add the buyer to your BBL.
