Buyers not paying!!!

[au_bargain_au]

ARHHH it is so frustrating. Lost many sales do to this, not good for business!!

There need to be some sort of secure payment with the buyers card details on file with an agreement in place with buyer and ebay that once a bid as been place they are agreeing that if no payment is made within a certain period then a percentage of the total sale will be deducted from the buyers account on file. Sellers would be compensated for any loss. Not all the amount but something at least.

Only serious buyers would bid!! 

…..And to be honest, not being able to leave a negative comment is just $^@%!!!

Okay I take it back then.

I don't do auctions, so I should have checked.

Sorry au.

But it does leave one open to the issues au brought up in the OP.

Your forgiven dave!

You went a little off track and tried to pin me for something you thought I was doing wrong.....

Back to my point of Buyers not paying, maybe BIN option 'make and offer' with immediate payment would be a better way to go.

I've used another another site bit like ebay and they actually ask for a creditcard or another secure option to put on file if you want to start bidding on an item. So if the auction is won and the buyer doesnt pay within a certain time they get deducted a percentage of the sale price. Its a secure site and havent had an issue with them.

(This just stop people from bidding and not paying). 

I just thought it would be good for ebay to start doing dont you think.

I assume that the percentage goes to the seller in this case.

Yeah I could see how this would make bidders think twice before they win an auction and then don't pay.
