New programs. !st and only way to stop non-paying bidders!
 

I found this today while surfing the net. It supposed to put a seal on your auctions to stop non-paying bidders by stating that collection efforts will be made on non-paying bidders...

The First and Only Service That Stops Non-paying Bidders

Wow... if you actually used that thing, you probably wouldn't have many positive feedbacks. Start collections against your buyers? wow...

Interesting idea, but it still won't stop nonpaying bidders--though it might deter a few. The free trial might be worth a look though, as long as it comes with no strings attached. Thanks for the link CPU. :cool:

Yeah, it does assume a certain amount of distrust on the part of the "buyer" so you probably wouldn't get that many bids either.

But then it will also let buyers know that your a legit and serious seller which I think will give more bids

Eh, you can do that in other ways though. The more I think of it, the less of a good idea I think it would be. There's a fine line between protective and being obnoxious and untrusting. This might just cross it. But like I said, it's worth a try, free and all.

requiring immediate payment stops non paying bidders does it not?

It does, but it also requires you to link your paypal account. Although if you had a merchant account instead of paypal, that might just work?

You mean the buyer has to have a linked paypal to their ebay account. Not the seller.

Right. That's what I was trying to say. The Buyer. However, if "you" as the seller have a merchant account, I have to wonder if that would help bring back some bidders not willing to link their accounts for paypal's sake. It's a thought to try anyway.

Immediate payment now doesn't work with Auctiva.

The collections thing requires it to be at least $50 and that the non pay bidder put real information in.
