Buyers do not need a paypal account. Why drive away business with an outdated buyer requirement!
The buyers with 0% didn't pay the other sellers, and it's pointless to block usernames when we can all make as many accounts as we want. Look how many sales you missed out on. How many of those are the same user? 😦
edit: You dont know shipping address until payment so that block is also costing you sales...the only proactive measure is immediate payment. The object is to sell, not block.
I agree with you, but that is because I list in the BIN format primarily (99.8% of the time). So for me the 2 or 3 UPI's a year that I do get here, meh. Relist, and move on, no big deal. I run maybe a dozen auctions a year, and have been fortunate enough not to draw a lot of the sport bidders, when I do run them. For that I am grateful.
Almost all of the other online market places were I sell; do not even have a buyer feedback system in place. I am almost never given any insight or knowledge about that buyer's past purchasing history. But the system there is fairly simple. Buyer purchases the item and I then in turn ship the item. Generally speaking that is why eBay's new buyers (0)s do not make me uncomfortable in large part due to the fact that I am use to that kind of selling environment.
But in the OPs case; they appear to run a lot of Auction format listings, so I understand their need and desire to want to block buyers with x amount of UPIs that occur in x amount of time. There is a lot of sport bidding here on eBay.
For Auction format sellers the fall out and extra work created by the buyer's who do not pay is tremendous. They are like the in-laws new puppy who is brought along with them uninvited to my house, takes a sh*! on my carpet and then goes home a the end of the day. So from the OP's point of view and position I agree with castlemagicmemories. "Not all sales are worth having."
