I have suggested over and over again to ebay that they make buyer trading behaviour more transparent, like making public their non paying habits but they won't do it.
Its clear that they want to hang on to their buyers regardless of the atrocious trading behaviour they are often guilty of. They spout the line about privacy concerns to sellers who complain and suggest a more transparent system of notification.
Its all very well being able to block certain buyers through 'Buyer Requirements', who are guilty of serial non-payment - But what about the ones who only occasionally behave irresponsibly in their buying conduct. You can block them AFTER they have not paid you but by then you have had to go through the process of UIDisputes and wait for them to bother paying or not paying before being able to relist. If you knew by some visible means as soon as they bid that they have some history of non-payment you would have the option of cancelling their bids BEFORE the auction finishes and save all that possible hassle.
That's what ebay want to prevent us sellers doing !!
- you received Final Value Fee credits why so mnay ???? because so many bidders not completing the sale thats why.
