Non payers

6 times now I've not been paid after my auction has ended. Why won't eBay punish these time wasters ???

they will be punished if on day 4 you cancel with - buyer did not pay. They get an unpaid strike and 2 strikes in a year makes it nearly impossible for them to buy.

They do,  but only if  sellers cancel orders for  for unpaid items after 4 days of non payment.  Buyer receives a deserved unpaid item strike.

2 strikes and the buyer will not be able to buy from the majority of sellers for a full 12 months.

If they carry on acquiring strikes,  eBay will remove them from the site.  These unpaid cases do work.

Hopefully , you block these buyers from returning, add their ID's here:

Personally, with such a high rate of non payers, I would be tempted to list all items in a Buy it Now format you could add a Best Offer option too,  and select immediate payment,  this way the item stays for sale until actual payment is received.

Yes, that could be the answer.thanjs
