eBay

I wish you go back to the days where sellers can leave buyers negative in the feedback section this stops are they bought it but when I dug a little deeper I found one cheaper so now I don’t have to buy yours anymore because well I found one cheaper and what does the Bay say about this oh well that’s OK you’re a buyer you don’t pay us anything but you’re a buyer those sellers rely on those buyers to pay that’s what this is all about it’s all about you buying and you paying and if you can’t pay eBay shouldn’t allow you on the side

WOW! Please use some punctuation. I now have a headache.

Who is going to see the negative? Most sellers use fixed price, we don't see our buyers until after they buy, so by then it's too late. File the unpaid cancellation after day four of non-payment, give the deadbeat a strike and help the rest of us sellers.

Closing out unpaid cases gives the buyer a strike and two of those will block that buyer from bidding or buying from most sellers. Feedback never did that. If you haven't already, block buyers with two strikes in 12 months in your buyer requirements: https://www.ebay.com/bmgt/buyerrequirements This only works if sellers do their job and file the unpaid cancellations.

The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.

We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did. - Thomas Sowell

Yes, punctuation would have been helpful in your message.

But I get the general gist of it. There isn't any way eBay could possibly stop non-paying bidders.

Sellers can cancel, citing nonpaying bidder, after 4 days. Seller gets his FVF back, buyer has a strike. Most smart sellers have set their requirements not to allow a buyer with 2 strikes in a year to shop with them. That's as good as it's going to get.

In the old days, my internet service provider charge $5 per month for an additional email address.

So negative feedback for a buyer meant something, because it was hard to get a new email address and create a new eBay account with a clean feedback slate.

These days, free email addresses are virtually unlimited and thus so are new eBay accounts. So what you are wishing for would not really help.
