Non supply

what can be done about sellers who start auctions at 99p and when the item sells for that refuse to supply it? I think they should be thrown off eBay completely

As an ordinary buyer, all you can do is leave appropriate feedback, and refuse to accept a cancellation request if the seller sends you one.

EBay itself will penalise a seller for making seller-initiated cancellation or refund, unless the buyer has accepted this. They receive no return of fees paid for the sale, and a defect is placed on their account. It only takes a small number of defects for a seller to be permanently banned from selling.

Despite all the rules and penalties, sellers who won't sell and buyers who won't pay continue to be the bane of eBay.

Some sellers, just do not understand how eBay works! They think listing at 99p ( eBay's recommendation?!), then if a high price isn't reached, they are allowed not to post, with no penalties.

Nope! eBay do not like unhappy buyers, so whilst the penalty of paying a seller's fee may end up being a few pence, the defect their account receives, is more damaging.

It does not take too many defects to close a Private sellers account down permanently, they're booted off, never allowed to return.

As I said, eBay do not like unhappy buyers!
