Does anyone know why eBay allows persistent non payers to remain active?

Probably because so many sellers didn't open unpaid item cases. If they don't bother, the non-payer goes unpunished.

Let's hope that sellers will now make better use of eBay's new procedure to cancel the sale if the buyer hasn't paid within four days: https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Announcements/New-cancel-function-for-unpaid-items/ba-p/6939127

The buyer receives a strike for "causing a sale to be cancelled by not paying". As before, if a buyer receives more than one strike sellers can automativally block them from bidding.

eBay don't, sellers do.

Sellers should always open unpaid case & set buyer requirements to block those with 2+ unpaid strikes.https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/listings/creating-managing-listings/setting-buyer-requirements?i...
