Go to the bottom of this page (or most pages on eBay actually) and click on Resolution Centre.
This will allow you to open an Unpaid Item Dispute.
You can do this after 96 hours (48 hours if you are in the USA).
The buyer then has 96 hours to pay you.
If he does not, the transaction is void, you get your Final Value (selling) fees back, he gets a Strike which makes it harder to buy on eBay in future.
Now.
Do NOT leave feedback.
- You can only leave positive feedback and if the message is negative it can be removed and you will be penalized.
Do NOT ship.
- This sounds obvious, but newbies do it all the time.
Do NOT respond to messages telling you to text the buyer.
When you relist:
Block the deadbeat.
Go to your Seller Preferences/Buyer Requirements and put an automatic Block on buyers with Unpaid Item Strikes.
Do NOT use Auction.
- Most Unpaid Items are on Auctions.
Use Fixed Price. If you are sure of your price also use Immediate Payment Required.
- This gives you 30 days of exposure and will relist for free if no one buys
- The listing stays active until someone actually pays you.
