I am new to this but not new to Ebay.
I have noticed recently the rising numbers of non payers. I had 6 in about 15 days just a few weeks ago and it looks like another 2 this week.
I can see reasons why Ebay would not bring back negative for buyers due to **bleep** for Tat negative being left. However, if a seller has gone through the UPI procedure and the buyer still has not paid then why can't Ebay mark a buyers feedback with something as simple as "Did not Pay"?
It would definitely deter many inconsiderate time wasters and Ebay would not be paying out so much in refunding fees. I can see how many people my block has caught but not who they are. I block at 5 in a 6 month period and one last year only had a feedback score of 21. Surely this bidder and others of a similar inclination should be known to all sellers. In this age of transparency I cannot think why Ebay would want to protect these habitual non payers.
It is wholly unfair that Ebay members who only ever buy always have 100% F/B when they may have not paid for many items. Buyers feedback is inaccurate and meaningless! It is not a level playing field. If Ebay really cared about sellers they would do something to make it more even.
