the trouble is yes ebay are giving buyers more now , but before ebay was looking after sellers better, you cant pleasen sellers and buyers at the same time. most of the time a problem is a 50/50 who is telling the truth who is lying, what is the answere mmmmmm

lets look at the did the buyerv get his goods or not. ebay says now you must have either tracking or signature, but 1000s of sellers are sending theren items whithout tracking or signature,

My main issue today is a buyer bid and won an item which stated in big letters no postage pickup only

wants items posted I said I would, took ages to find a box big enough so I can post safely email after email no response.

A second chance bidder wants the items but it will take nearly a week before I can sell it again total BS wasted my valuable time .Unpaid item strikes are a joke, time wasting and do nothing to stop buyers from doing it again to someone else

(I do block them once a upi is issued) but new ones will pop up again and again and again

but what can ebay or anybody in the world do about that, they get strikes and I think after a 3 they get banned or restricted.

this happens in shops all the time , sometimes you make alterations to the product and people dont come back to pick it up.

You should not have agreed to post the item if it was going to be that much of a problem.

If it has not been paid for after 4 days you just open an Unpaid Item dispute and close it after 4 days if not paid for. In the meantime you can advise the underbidder that it will be theirs if the dispute is closed without payment being received.

Why are strikes a joke? Once a member has 2 strikes on their accounts they can be automatically blocked by sellers who have their blocks in place. By closing disputes and issuing strikes you are helping all sellers to block offending members, not just yourself.

I assume you have your buyer blocks in place, not just adding your non payers to your personal blocked bidders list?
