Unpaid items

Hi I have an unpaid case open but note that this buyer has done this frequently as sellers have left warnings on the feedback, albeit showing a good feedback mark! Its crazy that we can't leave negative feedback for buyers who just ignore seller and even the case that is opened against them. EBay says they put a mark on their account to show an unpaid item but is that all that happens? They can just go on abusing the system this way?

If these other sellers had done as you are doing, and opened unpaid item cases, this buyer wouldn't be able to carry on doing this. Most sellers exercise the option to block bids from buyers with two or more unpaid item strikes.

 

In fact, not paying is the one situation where sellers CAN take effective action against buyers. Where not being able to leave feedback becomes an issue is when the buyer is abusive or dishonest, and there's no way to warn other sellers about this.
