Buyer marked as paid but hasn't

[ystrdy13]

Someone made a fake ebay account and bought my item but hasnt paid. He marked it as paid but he hasnt.

I can tell he isnt planning on paying because his user name is random letters and numbers and his join date was today so its obviously a fake account. Do i really gotta wait 4 days to relist because someone decided to waste their time and make a fake account to mess with me ?

I dont understand why ebay cant just have an option to not let anyone with 0 feedback purchase. The amount of people i've come across that didnt pay is annoying and most were 0 feedback accounts.

The OP is in the US, and payment options like bank deposit, cheque and money order are not an option, so there would not be the same call for the buyer to mark a payment as sent as there is here.

Let's not forget that there is at least one American resident who makes YouTube videos of all the things they get for free by doing exactly what this OP's buyer has done - that is, buy something, mark it as paid, and then celebrate online at the 1 in 100 or so items they get for nix. As soon as eBay shut down one account, they go and open another. OP is right to proceed with caution.
