Tired of COMPETITION buying my things and NOT PAYING URG!

[Gman91189]

Just wondering if any one else has problems with this.. i put some buy it nows.. and bam you see an account created today they buy it and never pay.. you open up a case and thats about all you could do...worst thing is that you basically waste that money on what you could put up a month


any suggestions on this? i already have buyer requirements.. ebay should have a rule gotta be like at least a month old to buy or something

In regards to this issue on eBay:
Make your BIN's "instant Payment Required"

In regards to this issue on Amazon:
If someone is buying your entire inventory of 10+ items and it is a pending sale for 1+ days.
You can bet it won't be paid for and is a competitor.

I have not been selling for very long and I have had this happen to me multiple times. I have also seen where they bid on my item then go bid on another item, they end up winning both items but not paying for mine arrghh. You got to love people though always make your day better lol .

I have had this happen also with new buyers with no feedback buying item, I am assuming these are competitors. I put immediate payment on most items except for ones that need to be picked up and these are the ones that get bought without payment.

why dont you have immediate payment on pick up items. They bid and won they must pay. Doest matter if they feel differently after they see it. I would get payment up front on those as well.

Start putting immediate buy it now and you will see this won't happen anymore.

It takes time but maybe check out your competition then block their names individually

Aside from checking instant payment required you can also allow only buyers with certain amount of feedback to buy, in the buyer requirements section.

That happens to me last week too. A member registered on 2nd september and made me an offer on same day. 0 feedback and from malaysia. sent me 2 messages asking questions and then made me best offer which i accept. Said he/she were waiting to funds being transfer from his/her account. Happens that he/she didn´t pay until today. Opened a non paying buyer at Ebay but i´m sure he/she will not pay. Thing is i couldn´t tick the immediate payment option because item was higher than 1000 GBP and on the buyer requirement the minimum option is buyers who have -1 feedback which excludes the 0 feedback ones. I think he might be a competitor with a different username. saw his/her history too and he/she only bidded on my item.
