    That is an unworkable and illegal idea.

     

    Buyers do not have a contract with eBay in purchasing an item, but with the seller; that’s one thing.

    I've just had this too, with a few items. I am sure some bidders just bid for the fun of it, and have no intention of paying. Ebay is quick to deduct a successful sale fees -they should automatically deduct successful bidders payments.

    I hope that you have been verified for ID and bank account (Managed Payments).  It is over a year since you sold and you will not see the money until you have that sorted.

    Hi I have sold 3 items in the last week and have been paid. Thank you for your solution. I was a buyer for 17 years! I have already sorted my ID and bank account with Ebay. 

     

    I just had a bad buyer who won a bid and did not reply or pay.

     

    So happy to be part of the Ebay community. It helps.

    Cancel the sale using 'buyer did not pay'

     

    Read up on how eBay works.
