There is no info I can find, however, on official policy regarding how many unpaid item strikes a buyer can have before ebay actually takes action. I find the language on the new policy unclear - if I cancel the order because the buyer didn't pay under the new system, as opposed to opening an unpaid item case, does it still count against the buyer? How does it actually affect their account? How many other sellers can they screw over and still keep their account? It would be nice if ebay made this more transparent, as I feel like it would gain back a little seller trust.
It certainly feels like ebay gives these time wasters far too much leeway. Their TOS used to contain MUCH stronger language about a purchase being a legally binding contract etc. I block anyone who buys and doesn't pay but there are just too many of these jerks out there. I will never understand why they choose to click purchase if they have no intention of actually paying for & buying the item. It just costs me time to wait to cancel and relist and takes away from real buyers being able to see my item for sale. So very frustrating.
