Non-paying bidders

[reuse*recycle]

Anyone know why ebay decided to allow non-payers? What happened to the old ebay policy, when you bid/win you enter a binding contract to pay for the item?

Now sellers are not able to open a case, it has suddenly caused many non payers. I had 4 items end over a week ago, all non-payers, and they have all also ignored my message enquiring if they still want the item.

All we can do now is cancel after someone wastes our time & doesn't pay! so annoying.

eBay have a new policy if buyers do not pay.

See here:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/payment-policies/unpaid-item-policy?id=4271

Sellers don't need to open unpaid item cases any longer.

Instead, orders can be cancelled if a buyer hasn't paid within 4 calendar days.

You might want to add those buyers who do not pay, to your Blocked Bidders List.

You can also stop those bidders from contacting you.

The buyers still get a non-payment strike.   eBay have just shortened the process.   So you can issue an Unpaid Item cancellation after 4 complete days.   That immediately ends transaction and your fee is refunded.
