Sorry to bring this up again, but I have had some real timewasters buying on ebay recently then not following through. I have wasted time in emailing them, then opening a dispute, then waiting again for the dispute timeframe before I can relist the item; sometimes this has taken 3 weeks, valuable time when the item could be relisted and sold to a decent buyer. If ebay doesn't want to let us sellers use negative or neutral, then maybe just a box we can tick saying something like 'transaction cancelled; buyer did not honour agreement' or something..... just so that the bad eggs can not blithely go on and on. Three strikes rule is pointless as it is so easy to open a new ebay account under a different user name.
I am actually now putting in a rider on all my large pick up/courier items that the item must be paid for and picked up by day 7 of auction ending otherwise it will automatically be relisted/offered to underbidder, but I don't know the legalities of this........
Surely if you contact a buyer twice in one week with no reply, a seller is entitled to move on........??
