I explained this upthread. The most important thing to do is file the Cancellation for Non payment. That puts and unpaid strike on the buyer's account.
For sellers that have their Site Preferences for Buyer Requirements set to the strictest rule which is 2 in 12 months, as more and more sellers file their cancellations for non payment, more and more buyers that have a habit of doing this will be blocked from purchasing.
If a buyer posts a negative FB in retaliation, there are rules in place that will assist the seller from getting it removed if the buyer broke any of the rules. This doesn't happen near as often now as it did in pre 2008.
Important to remember that simply because a seller disagrees with what a buyer said does not mean the buyer was wrong.

Well that would not be too bright to intentionally damage the health of their buying account in an effort to retaliate against the seller for some unknown reason. Simply doesn't make any sense.
@bryo_3145 wrote:It's just seemingly like we are justifying that it's okay for a buyer to bid an item up or bid on an item and not paying. With no recourse or punishment? Knowing they will not receive a negative comment from a seller. Is there a solution? Some buyers do have more than one account. They could change their ID.
No one has said that but you as far as the justification for non payment. Several times in this thread it has been explained to you how it will affect the buyer if they are misusing the system. You seem to think that getting a negative review is the worst thing that can happen to a member and that simply isn't true. You just seem to want to gloss over what has been explained and go back to the negative FB procedurel
