bum buyers...

question... how often do customers who dont pay for their item within the 1st 24hrs never end up paying. seems very high in my case.:(

You know there's a setting on your list that you can set it to immediate payment only. Means they have to pay asap. I don't know how long they have though but all my buyers pay within minutes of ordering

depends on the product. my market had many many flaky buyers with auction listings

and although auction type listings are great for building stealth accounts, you may want to switch when the account gets to an appropriate age.

its definitely recommended to use BIN only with the option for "immediate payment required" selected in order to limit the headaches.

Adjust your settings so unpaid cases are opened automatically after a given time. I allow 4 days then a case opens automatically. If they still don't pay, the case is closed automatically and you receive your fees back after a further 4 days.

I always put "payment due within 24 hours" in my auction descriptions but its not like I can really enforce it.

Last week the winning bidder messages me and asks if he can pay next week once he gets his paycheck. Message me before bidding please!!!!

If you do auctions then you're screwed but you are screwed in anyway if still doing auctions on ebay, if BIN then as others have said change your settings to instant payment and then if they do not pay instantly then the item is not changed to sold.

Also make use of your buyer requirements when ever possible, if you don't already as it stops some of the idiots.
