EBay full of Scammers

[gerrees2017]

Too many idiots now on EBay ruining this platform.

Amount of times winning bidder does not pay up becoming so frequent that you can’t sell stuff here anymore. Also buyers not being honoured with their winning bids due to dodgy Ebayers is also becoming prolific.

EBays days are numbered.

I will now no longer use this platform as it just wastes my time. Was a good idea to begin with but too many rogues messing with genuine Ebayers. Real shame.

Yep,  can't disagree that there are those who don't pay,  and  waste sellers time,  but there are ways to protect yourself against the rogue buyer.  Use eBay's tools available for you.

List your items in  a Buy it Nor format with an immediate payment selected.  That way,  when purchased and the buyer has not paid ,  the item stays on sale until they do,  or simply stays on sale.

If you do come across a non payer,  always block them from returning and ruining anymore of your sales, here:

Yes using Buy it now is an option and I have blocked all those idiots who waste everyones time.
However, on re-listing the Buy it now option is locked and I can't activate it.
Is there any way to remedy this in a live listing??

Instead of relisting, which I am sure you could edit, use list similar and change from auction to BIN as you go through. 

I have done both relisting and list similar and changed from an auction to a BIN, very essily.

Once listed you cannot change.
