Fed up with unpaid items

[retroragsaustralia]

I am so fed up with getting constant un paid items. The penalties for unpaid items is obviously non exisitent as i think i have almost as many unpaid item cases as actual paid sales

Just very fed up with impulse buyers who use us small sellers as their impulse fix.

I know you dont get charged for the listings by ebay but they do cut into potential real sales especially off buyers who are genuinely buy multiple items off you.

Would like to see a discussion thread on this issue

Buyers are Angels and can do no wrong,they are ebays bread and butter lol.

It's better that they don't pay compared to them opening cases for items not received or as described.

They are better off getting a non payment strike than you getting a defect.

And make sure you put them all in your BBL

yep, good points, ebay wont change the rules in my opinion.

all we can do is have our blocks in place to stop anyone with more than 2 unpaid item strikes from buying/bidding

add any non payers to our blocked lists, so they get the 2 strikes as soon as possible.

and carry on selling.

yes its a pain that we have to go through the whole case sometimes before relisting. can be 12 days.

but thats the rules ebays created, 4 days to pay, 4 extra days once the case is opened, add 2 weekends into it.

don't let the non payers get you down.

I was going to suggest instant payment, but I see you run auctions

[kopenhagen5]

I am suggesting the same.

If most of your auctions sell with one bid, change them to BIN's and have immediate payment set.

Many buyers are as you say impulse and more likely to pay immediately rather than after many days of an auction end.

I also think your sales will increase slightly when buyers don't need to wait.

[*tippy*toes*]

I run auctions, but have a BIN option. Of course that option disappears once a bid is placed, but it still gives people the option. As most of my auctions sell with only one bid, I'm usually happy to end early if a buyer asks. There's a couple of things I don't, but most I will on request.

I'm wondering if the OP does have blocks in place?

[imastawka]

Is this the part now where we look at the OP's listings and fb?

OP - it would be better if you took the photos in full sun.

The shade makes them very difficult to see IMO

And your neutral - I wouldn't want to pay $8.25 and have it turn up for $2 either

You can't sell an item for $2 and take your profit out of postage

(and BTW,  I can see the stain mentioned,  in your photo)

Now, everybody can jump down my throat

Oh please, not another discussion on unpaid items!!

There are already numerous threads on the same subject if you take the time to look around the boards.  There is only so much that can be said on the subject.

I fully agree with everything you say Stawks.

The OP would have been better off not replying to the feedback....denying the bleedin' obvious is not a good look.

It all depends on what you're selling as alot things auctions are the way to go
