Ebay used to have a way sellers can automatically block buyers with zero or negative feedback. Is that tool gone? I have had an influx of non payers due to this and it isn't fair that I should have to keep my item from actually selling to another until the 5th day.
Why would you want to block someone with zero feedback? Didn’t you start out with zero feedback at one time? Some of my best sales have been with buyers who had zero feedback. If you’re worried about non-payers sell your items as BIN and without offers.
I just shipped something to a zero feedback buyer last week. They left me a lovely feedback and said they'd come back to buy from me again. That's the kind of buyer I love to have!
Listings are sold once an offer is accepted and not visible. 😁
Yes, that's what she said: "accepting an Offer negates the IPR". The Immediate Payment Required option applies only to full-price "buy it now" purchases.
i do auctions. no bin. i should be allowed to block the fun bidders. if they want to bin with other sellers that is ok with me. most of the addresses are fake with fake names. . to be fair i would set mine at about 20 feedbacks. if ebay wont let me do this, ebay should be responsible for all of the time i spend relisting the items on the date i want and have no fees to relist an item on the date and time l want.
"They wouldn't ever even offer an option to block new users because they want to encourage new members to join and shop here". you failed to mention that it should be paid for. they could bin with pay now. after paying a few times they could buy from me because they have already have proven that they have the money to pay for the item with a real address and a real name.
Members can't exchange feedback solely for the purpose of increasing feedback scores, gaining eBay privileges, or enhancing their reputation on our site. Neither can they influence another member's feedback through a series of repeat purchases, or by leaving negative comments with a positiverating.”
I have had more than 50% defaults from people with 0 or neg feedback. It's a game to them.
That's your demographic.
Absolutely. I have never had someone not pay me within an hour of accepting an offer. Usually it's more like within ten minutes.
Not sure about an hour. But normally within a day. With the occasional two or three day ones. Have had a handful that asked if they can pay on whatever day though. Am fine with it.
But maybe my categories are usually less flaky or troublesome. If I had to guess, less than 5% don't pay.
