Non-Payment

[gnasher_beer]

Non-payment from bidders seems to be on the increase.

I have had at least three in a short space of time and my friends have also had an increase of non paying bidders.  In my, and my selling colleagues opinion, ebay have been ineffectual with dealing with these offenders.  Surly if you bid you are tied in to a legal agreement and are bound to pay, as in a 'real' auction.

I would like to know other sellers opinions, ebay just seem to protect their 'income' and do more to protect buyers.  It would appear easier and less time consuming to just withdraw the item that hasnt been paid for, bar the bidder from ever bidding for an item and re-list.

Can anyone add to this? Please forgive me for venting my anoyance!
