Thank you for your suggestion, however I have not only reported it to ebay on many occasions, as like yourself, I have had so many retract, not pay, "string me along for weeks with GRAND promises" etc.
ebay's response has been too soft on the Buyers albeit ebay claim they have strict Rules and Policy. I have even made Telephone Calls to ebay (about 6) and discuss the problem (for up to an hour on one occasion,) but they do nothing about it.
At times ebay almost tend to turn it around and put me at fault as they do not appear tp totally understand the problem. The Hierarchy make the Rules, no doubt in conjunction with their Legal Team, However when you complain, you get to speak with someone in the Phillipines. ( I was told via one of their Supervisors that there is no longer a Representative in Australia and Asia - Pacific is now 'Headed Up' by a Body in the Phillipines)
Now, I don't have a problem with that, however, either they are not totally familiar with the Rules or not Trained properly or just do not translate the concept as it is supposed to be, or lose something in the translation. Whatever, they don't do anything to the Buyer, just make it harder for the Seller.
This was the reason for putting my problem to you guys out there with a similar problem.
I have just about given up and just "wear it". Unless someone can come up with a solution.
NB: In respect to trying to "Block Buyers" under certain criteria etc, it backfired on me to the point of not one Buyer could get to Bid on my Goods. Buyers of whom were concerned with the varied messages they were getting, contacted me to get an EXEMPTION - I spent the last 2 week-ends on the Internet re emails and fixing up Individual Buyer problems and in turn, lost a lot of Business. Again, ebay did not appear to be concerned and put the "fault" back on me.
