Non Paying bidders on the rise?

Tom Oates · Dec 9, 2014

I've had more non paying bidders in the last month than I have in the last sixteen years on ebay. So frustrated!

dacw333 Is this Dave and Adams Card World?

movus-6sop8ixxz - stiffed me on a $32 Molitor Nicknames autograph. Already has a recent NPB complaint but as sellers we can only leave "positive" jack hole did not pay feedback :-(

montaricka - This ******** has more "positive" did not pay feedback than true positive feedback.

larsonsupplies - Stiffed me on two MadBum auctions for about $50. Had almost exclusively "positive" non paying bidder feedback before ebay finally suspended the account. Something like 50 non paying bidder complaints before he got suspended!

I have had my share. I believe there is a setting to block bidders with at least two npb strikes within the last year. You may wanna look into adjusting your settings. It might help a fraction, but it could be better than nothing.

guess i've been fortunate in this regard as i've had just 2 this year.....i think that ups my total on ebay to something like 10 or at most 12 since 2003 along with maybe 7-8 more on yahoo from 1999-2003....i also highly recommend the suggestion made by astroburn ......utilizing those requirements in tandem with your blocked bidder list can eliminate a lot of problem bidders before they hurt you.....

I have a decent list of blocked bidders, both recent and from a while back. But mine are from selling clothes, not cards. If you want, I could PM you my list and you can add it to your own.

Thanks ASB, I'll look for that setting! I did add these user id's to my blocked bidder list but at least two of them are serial NPBidders. I'm speculating that they win a card and try to flip it quickly. If they are unable to flip it, they don't pay for the auction they won.

I don't sell much, probably less than 100 auctions a year, but I'd say 10% of them have to be re-listed due to non-payment.

And it's been that way since the genius move to remove Sellers leaving feedback which deserves the very rare Benson.:benson:

I just make it so that if you have 2 NPB's in the last year that you cannot bid on my auctions. I think I get maybe 5% NPB's. I also noticed that football buyers are the best payers. I have gotten about 80% of the payments from my auctions that ended last night!
